CHRONICLE OF TURSUN BEY (1422-1488)

Step into the heart of the Ottoman Empire’s rise through the eyes of a man who lived it. Chronicle of Tursun Bey is the first full English translation of Târîh-i Ebü’l-Feth, a vivid first-hand account of Sultan Mehmed II’s conquests — including the legendary Fall of Constantinople — and the early reign of Sultan Bayezid II.
Written by Tursun Bey, an accomplished Ottoman official who served in the imperial court and on major campaigns, this chronicle blends military history, political insight, and personal testimony into a rare window on 15th-century empire-building.
An essential work for lovers of world history, Islamic studies, and epic historical narratives.
