Setton provides a brief survey of the Thirty Years' Was as part of the background to Venetian relations with the Ottoman Empire. Having lost the island of Crete to the Turks in the long war of 1645-1669, Venice renewed her warfare with the Porte in 1684, this time as the ally of Austria after the Turkish failure to take Vienna the preceding year. The Venetians now conquered the Peloponnesus (the Morea), and occupied Athens, with the disastrous result that the Parthenon was destroyed, a tragedy which receives much attention in this book. This volume is to some exrtent a continuation of the author's highly praised work on The Papacy and the Levant (also published by the American Philosophical Society), which covers in four volumes the period from the Fourth Crusade (1204) to the battle of Lepanto (1571), and goes somewhat beyond.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50256692936977,"sku":"CIN0871691922G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52740467294481,"sku":"NIN9780871691927","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0871691922.jpg?v=1764928614"},{"product_id":"history-of-the-crusades-volume-ii-book-kenneth-m-setton-9780299048440","title":"A History of the Crusades, Volume II","description":"The six volumes of A History of the Crusades will stand as the definitive history of the Crusades, spanning five centuries, encompassing Jewish, Moslem, and Christian perspectives, and containing a wealth of information and analysis of the history, politics, economics, and culture of the medieval world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":50527605850385,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50527608570129,"sku":"CIN0299048446G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0299048446.jpg?v=1750877753"},{"product_id":"history-of-the-crusades-volume-iv-book-kenneth-m-setton-9780299068202","title":"A History of the Crusades, Volume IV","description":"The six volumes of \u003ci\u003eA History of the Crusades\u003c\/i\u003e will stand as the definitive history of the Crusades, spanning five centuries, encompassing Jewish, Moslem, and Christian perspectives, and containing a wealth of information and analysis of the history, politics, economics, and culture of the medieval world.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52099671752977,"sku":"NGR9780299068202","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780299068202.jpg?v=1757086802"},{"product_id":"papacy-and-the-levant-1204-1571-vol-i-book-kenneth-m-setton-9780871691149","title":"Papacy and the Levant (1204-1571), Vol. I","description":"The first of 4 vols. which trace the history of the later Crusades \u0026amp; papal relations with the Levant from the accession of Innocent III (in 1198) to the reign of Pius V \u0026amp; the battle of Lepanto (1566-71).

Ridiculous legends grew up in the West relating to Mohammed, the stock in trade of preachers, who were always willing to inform their listeners about the origin of the Prophet and the nature of Islam. Pious Christians were usually assured that Mohammed had come to a bad end.
