Appeal to the Turk: The Broken Boundaries of the Renaissance: 4 (Viella History, Art and Humanities Collection) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book sheds some light on something unmentionable, that public powers and individuals in the Christian world had been doing for a long time: to solve their diverse personal and political issues, they appealed to the Turks. This especially happened in Renaissance Italy, particularly exposed both to the Turkish peril and seduction; and even some popes, in quarrel with other Christian princes, engaged in this practice. It seems clear that the prevailing historical memory, often hinged on conflict, is the result of a formal and morally charged selection of facts. If the Italian capitals germinated the plans, the actions were then spread quite widely along the coasts of the Mediterranean or into the interior of the Balkans or in Istanbul. In this, the Italian states were in the avant-garde, at least half a century before France established the so-called "impious alliance" with the Ottoman Empire.

Rilegato. Condition: new. Translation by R. Chapman. English Text. Roma, 2018; bound, pp. 188, b/w and col. ill., cm 16x24. (Viella History, Art and Humanities Collection. 4). Per molto tempo i poteri pubblici, i singoli individui e le autorità religiose del mondo cristiano fecero di nascosto la "cosa innominabile" che questo libro riporta alla luce: si appellarono ai turchi per risolvere i loro più disparati problemi personali o politici. Ciò accadde soprattutto nell'Italia del Rinascimento, e nell'esercizio si segnalarono persino alcuni papi in conflitto con altri principi cristiani. Il libro analizza le permeabilità della linea di cesura fra cristiani e musulmani, senza farsi ingannare dalle deplorazioni lanciate dai contemporanei. Vengono raccontati scambi di lettere e di emissari, trattative segrete e offerte di doni, azioni di spionaggio e depistaggio nel periodo che va dalla conquista di Costantinopoli nel 1453 alla battaglia di Lepanto nel 1571. Malgrado la retorica di crociata, l'accesso della potenza turca al tavolo diplomatico europeo precedette di molto l'instaurazione di un sistema di relazioni internazionali dichiaratamente laiche.
