SUMMARY
This classic account shows how the fall of Constantinople in 1453 came as a bitter shock to Western Christendom. To the Turks, victory not only brought a new imperial capital, but guaranteed that their empire would last. To the Greeks, the conquest meant the end of the civilisation of Byzantium and led to the exodus of scholars stimulating the tremendous expansion of Greek studies in the European Renaissance.Runciman, Steven is the author of 'Fall of Constantinople, 1453', published 1990 under ISBN 9780521398329 and ISBN 0521398320.
