{"product_id":"the-fall-of-constantinople-1453-canto","title":"The Fall of Constantinople 1453 (Canto)","description":"This classic account shows how the fall of Constantinople in May 1453, after a siege 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 Turks, victory not only brought a new imperial capital, but guaranteed that their empire would last. To the Greeks, the conquest meant the end of the civilisation of Byzantium, and led to the exodus of scholars stimulating the tremendous expansion of Greek studies in the European Renaissance.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0521398320\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0521398320.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Runciman, Steven\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
