From the publisher: This classic account shows how the fall of Constantinople in May 1453, after a seige of several weeks, came as a bitter shock to Western Christendom. The city's plight had been neglected, and negligible help was sent in this crisis. To the Greeks, the conquest meat the end of the civilisation of Byzantium and led to the exodus of scholars which in turn led to the tremendous expansion of Greek studies in the European Renaissance. 'This is a marvel of learning lightly worn' The Guardian
