A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Two Sieges of Constmitinople by the A rabs. Their Invasion ofF rance and Defeat by Charles Martel. Civil War of theO mmiades and A bbassides. Learning of the A rabs. Luxury of the Caliphs. Naval Enterprises on Crete Sicily andR ome. DecaC and Division of theE mpire of the Caliphs. Defeats and Victories of the Greek Emperors. When the A rabs first issued from the desert, they must have been surprised at the ease and rapidity of their own success. But when they advanced in the career of victory to the banks of the Indus and the summit of the Pyrenees jwhen they had repeatedly tried the edge of their scymetars and the energy of their faith, they might be equally astonished that any nation could resist their invincible arms, that any boundary should confine the dominion of the successor of the prophet.
