A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

No historical subject has attracted more attention in France and Germany during the last twenty years than the Latin conquest of Constantinople. No other historical question has had devoted to it during the same period the labors of an equal number of illustrious historical students. A literary controversy has been waged, and is still waging, about several of the important questions which have arisen in connection with the subject. The larger question of the history of Constantinople and of the Eastern Empire in the Middle A ges has likewise, during the last quarter of a century, occupied the attention of a considerable number of Continental scholars, whose labors, have added much to our stock of knowledge on the subject. A mong the most important of their contributions a few may be here noticed. Muralt s Chronography of Byzantine History, between 1057 and 1453, is an immense aid to all students of the period treated of. It is hardly possible to mention any statement respecting any event, however trifling, within the period dealt with, for which all the authorities are not cited. Heyd s History of Trade in the Levant during the Middle A ges is also a monument of careful research. Essai de Chronographie Byzantine, 1057 S1453. Par Edouard Muralt. Bale et Gen6ve, 1871. 2G eschichte des Levantehandels im Mittelalter. Von Dr. William Heyd. Stuttgard,

Présentation de l'éditeur

When the Fourth Crusade was launched, it was widely expected that the European crusaders would head to fight the Muslims for control of Jerusalem. Instead, the Fourth Crusade witnessed the crusaders sack the Byzantine capital of Constantinople, helping usher in the schism between Orthodox and Catholic Christians. Pears' book tells the story of that momentous event.
