Description

"...THERE was a time when the power, and, in a great measure, the civilization of Europe, seemed to have their chief seat in the South; a time when the Ottoman empire and the Spanish monarchy had grown up, face to face, to an overtopping greatness, dangerous to neighbouring and remote nations, and when no literature in the world could compare with that of Italy..." --Leopold von Ranke, Preface, 1843 The Ottoman and Spanish Empires in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries by German historian Leopold von Ranke was first published in German in 1830, and translated into English in 1843. Von Ranke described the rivalry between the two leading powers in the Mediterranean, the Ottomans and the Spaniards. Just as in his other books, von Ranke's writing was based on eye-witness accounts, in this case the well-documented reporting of the Venetian ambassadors who had been emissaries to both empires.

Author Biography:

LEOPOLD VON RANKE (1795-1886) was a leading German historian of the 19th century and a founder of modern source-based history, introducing ideas such as reliance on primary sources, with a focus on narrative history and foreign policy. He was professor of History at the University of Berlin from 1834 to 1871. Von Ranke wrote many influential books, including The History of Servia and the Servian Revolution (1829) and History of the Popes: Their Church and State (1834-36), also available from Cosimo Classics.
