Footnotes
TWO RARE EDITIONS OF INFLUENTIAL WORKS ON THE ORIGINS OF THE TURKS. "According to Runciman, Cambini consulted survivors of the siege of Constantinople in composing this important work, which provided account of the Turks up to 1517, the date of the Ottoman conquest of Egypt... [whilst] Giovio, provoked by the siege of Vienna in 1529, regarded this work as his contribution to the struggle" (Atabey).
