Read Suleiman The Magnificent 1520 1566 Online
Authors: Roger Bigelow Merriman
Charriere's Negociations and von Gevay's Urkunden (cf. ante, pp. 302-303) are the principal sources for this chapter. J [on] Ursu, La Politique orientale de Francois /% is one of the best of historical monographs, and contains a full bibliography.
CHAPTER VII
It would be superfluous for me to point out how much I have depended for the material contained in this chapter on A. H. Lybyer's The Government of the Ottoman Empire in the Time of Suleiman the Magnificent, and his bibliography is so complete that there is no point in enlarging upon the sources on which he has relied. I can only add that many of the contemporaneous Italian accounts have been admirably translated in Sir William Stirling-Maxwell's The Turks in MDXXXIIL Joseph von Hammer-PurgstalFs Des Osmanischen Reichs Staatsverf as-sung und Staatsverwaltung (Vienna, 1815) may still be
consulted with profit, while the Encyclopedia of Islam, 4 vols. and supplement (Leiden and London, 1913-38)' is a mine of accurate information, brought abreast of the most modern historical scholarship by leading Orientalists.
CHAPTER VIII
Cf. notes on the preceding chapter and add N. lorga's Geschichte des Osmaniscben Reicbes (vol. II). E. J. W. Gibb, A History of Ottoman Poetry, 6 vols. (London, 1900—09), is the standard authority on the subject with which it deals. Dr. Barnette Miller's The Palace School of Muhammad the Conqueror (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1941) is a scholarly monograph which contains much that is useful for Suleiman's time; her Beyond the Sublime Porte (New Haven, 1931) and N. M. Penzer's The Harem (London, 1936) are perhaps chiefly valuable for the excellent maps, plans, and illustrations which they contain. Edmondo de Amicis, Constantinople, tr. Maria H. Lansdale, 2 vols. (Philadelphia, 1896), is pleasant and profitable reading.
CHAPTER IX
Cf. notes on Chapter VI and add Hajji Halifa (the name is often spelled Haji Khalfah), The History of the Maritime Wars of the Turks, tr. James Mitchell (London, 1831) — a precious seventeenth-century authority. Volume I (Madrid, 1895) of C. Fernandez Duro, Armada Es-panola, and volume III (Paris, 1891) of E. Mercier, His-toire de PAfrique Septentrionale y are the standard works on the subjects with which they deal. Further information may be found in the footnotes to chapter xxv (voL III) of my Rise of the Spanish Empire.
CHAPTER X
The principal sources for this chapter are Sidi Ali Reis, Travels and Adventures (otherwise known as The Mirror of Countries) , tx., with notes, by A. Vdmbery (London, 1899); The Chronique de Gald t wde f wos, roi d'Ethiopie, tr. and ed. W. F. Conzelman (Paris, 1895); Francisco Alvarez, Narrative of the Portuguese Embassy to Abyssinia (1520-1527}, tr. and ed. EL E. JL Stanley (London: Hakluyt Society, 1881); and Miguel de Castan-hoso, The Portuguese Expedition to Abyssinia in 1541-1543, tr. and ed. R. S. Whiteway (London: Hakluyt Society, 1901) .—Sir William W. Hunter, A History of British India, ^ vols. (London, 1899), is a standard authority, and K. G. Jayne, Vasco da Gama and His Successors (London, 1910), and R. S. Whiteway, The Rise of Portuguese Power in India, 1491-1550 (Westminster, 1899), are useful monographs.
CHAPTER XI
Gyorgy Pray, Epistolae Procerum Regni Hungariae, 3 vols. (Posonii, 1806); Fontes Rerum Austriacarum Scriptores, 69 vols. (1855-1931), especially vol. I; and Osterreichische Staatsvertrdge y vol. IX (Fiirstentum Sie-benbmgen, 1526-1590, Vienna, 1911), are the principal sources for this chapter, and the list may be indefinitely extended by consulting K. M. Kertbeny's Ungarn betref-fende deutsche Erstlings-Drucke, 1454-1600 (Budapest, 1880), and Graf Alexander Apponyi's Hungarica, vols. I and III (Munich, 1903 and 1925). The only lives of Mar-tinuzzi are those of A. Bechet, Histoire du ministere du Cardinal Martinusius (Paris, 1715), and O. M. Utiesenovic, Lebensgeschichte des Cardinals Georg Utiesenovic, ge-nannt Martinusius (Vienna, 1881).
CHAPTER XII
Cf. notes to Chapters IX and XI, and in addition: Halil Ganem, Les Sultans Ottomans^ 2 vols. (Paris, 1901—
02), and Henry Seddall, Malta (London, 1870). Further
information about the siege of Malta may be found in C.
Fernandez Duro, Armada EspaiJola, vol. II, and on pp.
