Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a marriage alliance between the Grand Prince of Moscow and the niece of the last Byzantine emperor. The marriage was brokered by Cardinal Bessarion, a leading figure in the movement to reunite the Eastern and Western Christian churches, and was intended to strengthen the alliance between Russia and the West against the threat of the Ottoman Turks. But the marriage had a hidden agenda: the ambitious Italian adventurer Volpe, who had traveled to Moscow and gained the confidence of Ivan III, saw it as an opportunity to advance his own schemes. The author uses archival research to shed new light on the political and religious maneuvering, and the personal ambitions, that drove the events surrounding this marriage. The book explores the complex relationship between Russia and the West, the tensions between religious and political goals, and the role of individuals in shaping the course of history. The author provides fresh insights into the origins of Russia's engagement with Europe and the enduring legacy of the Byzantine Empire. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
