Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1978. Biography of the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II (1432-1481), who reigned from 1444 to 1446 and again, more significantly, from 1451-1481. His seige of Constantinople in 1453 & other campaigns "securely established" the Ottoman Empire, and here Babinger discusses the organization & political rivalries of that state as well as Mehmed's life. Mehmed remains a hero to the Islamic world and particularly in Turkey, where his reforms in Contantinople & patronage of the arts transformed the city, with "his court [becoming] a new center of Muslim literary, artistic, and intellectual activity." Though Babinger planned a second volume of notes & bibliographic information, he did not live to complete it. The present volume is based on the second German edition and informed by the second Italian edition, though considerably rearranged (as approved by Babinger); the footnotes are Hickman's, and in part point to additional readings. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book; price-clipped jacket shows only minor edgewear; tiny smudge to verso of frontispiece. Text clean; xx, 549 pages; index, glossary, lists of rulers & popes, 24 b/w plates, maps. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo., Princeton University Press, 1978, 3<
