Collated: [16], 506, [28] p. 43 cm. Contemporary leather, rebacked on later black leather spine. AEG. Covers well-worn at edges/corners and scuffed. Primitive restoration work.

Internally very good; a few stray pencil marks. Crack to gutter of e1, e2 loose, with e3 sprung. Lacks front and end endpapers. Definitive source on the fall of the Byzantine Empire, 1298-1463, covering its invasion by the Ottoman Empire and Venice. Among Greek histories of the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the work of Laonikos (ca. 1430-ca. 1465) has by far the broadest scope. Chalkokondyles recorded the last 150 years of the Byzantine Empire, with extensive sections on the Venetian treachery and conquest. Byzantine - European relations are detailed in his account of Emperor Manuel II's journey to Western Europe to obtain aid. In the 1450s, Laonikos set out to imitate Herodotus in writing the history of his times, a version in which the armies of Asia would prevail over the Greeks in Europe. The backbone of the Histories, a text written in difficult Thucydidean Greek, is the expansion of the Ottoman Empire from the early 1300s to 1464, but Laonikos's digressions give sweeping accounts of world geography and ethnography from Britain to Mongolia, with an emphasis on Spain, Italy, and Arabia. Following the methodology of Herodotus and rejecting theological polemic, Laonikos is the first Greek writer to treat Islam as a legitimate cultural and religious system. Significantly for the later concept of Greek nationhood, Laonicus explicitly linked the ancient Hellenes with medieval Greece. Reissue of the 1615 edition, which combined Conrad Clauser's 1556 Latin text with the Greek text by J. B. Baumbach 1615 edition. Parallel Latin and Greek columns. Brunet I.1435.

This historical work comprises one of the most important sources for the students of the final 150 years of Byzantine history, despite being defective in its chronology. It covers the period from 1298 1463, describing the fall of the Byzantine empire and the rise of the Ottoman Turks, which forms the centre of the narrative, down to the conquest of the Venetians and Mathias, king of Hungary, by Mehmed II. The capture of Constantinople he rightly regarded as an historical event of far-reaching importance and compared it to the fall of Troy. The work also sketches other manners and civilization of England, France and Germany, whose assistance the Greeks sought to obtain against the Turks. For his account of earlier events he was able to obtain information from his father. The work was first translated from Greek to Latin by Conrad Clauser of Basel, and then to french by the early cryptographer Blaise de Vigenère. Artus Thomas then expanded upon the work.

CHALCOCONDYLES, Laonicus [ie Laonikos Chalkokondyles] (ca 1430 - ca 1470).

Paris: Chez Sebastien Cramoisy, Imprimeur & Libraire ordinaire du Roy, Rue Saint Jacques, aux Cicognes, 1662 [engraved title-pages date 1663]. 2 volumes. Folio (14 x 8 6/8 inches). Half-titles, letterpress title-pages printed in red and black with large woodcut printer's device. Additional engraved historiated title-pages, volume one with 20 fine engraved vignette portraits of Turkish rulers, volume II with one folding woodcut plate of the Turkish Army, one double-page and folding engraved view of Constantinople (laid down on archival tissue), 5 vignettes of portraits of Turkish rulers, 64 full-page engraved plates of portraits of religious figures, characters and costumes (one plate torn across the image, one repaired in the margin affecting the image, one with a small hole in the centre of the image, one with pencilled annotations), one full-page view, 17 full-page engraved plates of emblems (that of the Berber woman repeated in place of the Persian woman, some occasional browning and spotting), woodcut head- and tail-pieces and initials throughout. Contemporary speckled calf, gilt (a bit worn at the extremities, and expertly strengthened in one or two places). Chalkokondyles' History was first published in a Latin translation by Conrad Clauser at Basel in 1556, although the translation itself bears the date of November 1544. A French translation was published by Blaise de Vigenère in 1577, followed by Artus Thomas' (died 1614) edition, as here, with the addition of the important and superb illustrations. Artus' collected edition contains additions to Chalcocondyles' original text and François de Mezeray (1610-1683), bringing the account up to date. The engravings in the second volume of different religious and ethnic peoples are after Nicolas de Nicolay (1517-1583). Among Greek histories of the fall of Constantinople in 1453, "the work of Laonikos (ca. 1430 ca. 1465) has by far the broadest scope. Born to a leading family of Athens under Florentine rule, he was educated in the classics at Mistra by the Neoplatonist philosopher Plethon. "In the 1450s, Laonikos set out to imitate Herodotos in writing the history of his times, a version in which the armies of Asia would prevail over the Greeks in Europe. The backbone of the Histories, a text written in difficult Thucydidean Greek, is the expansion of the Ottoman Empire from the early 1300s to 1464, but Laonikos s digressions give sweeping accounts of world geography and ethnography from Britain to Mongolia, with an emphasis on Spain, Italy, and Arabia. Following the methodology of Herodotos and rejecting theological polemic, Laonikos is the first Greek writer to treat Islam as a legitimate cultural and religious system. He followed Plethon in viewing the Byzantines as Greeks rather than Romans, and so stands at the origins of Neo-Hellenic identity" (Harvard University Press online). cf.
