註釋
This book provides translations of a number of texts representative of Europeâe(tm)s reaction to Suleyman the Magnificent from his accession through the defeat at Vienna in 1529. A single text, the Diarii kept by the Venetian bailo in Constantinople, Marino Sanudo, forms the basis of this collection, but its narrative will be complemented by significant reactions of other contemporary authors, either eyewitnesses of or potential commentators on specific military events: Belgrade, Rhodes, Mohács and Vienna. As a historical text Sanudoâe(tm)s diaries, with their extraordinary detail and scope, are unprecedented for this any period. However, their size necessitates their abridgement only to those comments which refer specifically to the Ottoman Turksâe(tm) dealings with Europe. The first supplemental text is Venetian ambassador, Pietro Bragadinâe(tm)s, initial, positive reaction to Suleymanâe(tm)s rise to the crown, the âeoeDescription of Suleyman the Magnificent for the Venetian Senate,âe which was sent to Venice shortly after Suleymanâe(tm)s gained the Ottoman imperial throne. The further texts include: for the siege of Rhodes, Jacques de Bourbonâe(tm)s eyewitness account; for the battle of Mohács, the Letter from Emperor Charles V to his brother, Ferdinand written on 30 November 1526; and for the siege of Vienna three letters: from Ferdinand to Charles V (written 19 October 1529); from Martin Luther to Nicolaus Hausmann (26 October 1529); and from Martin Luther to Nicolaus von Amsdorf (27 October 1529). This collection ends with three important texts written within two years of Suleymanâe(tm)s defeat at Vienna, containing histories of and reactions to the recent Ottoman invasion of Europe, as well as warnings as to what might happen should Suleyman be allowed to continue without military intervention: Martin Lutherâe(tm)s De bello Turcico (1529), Desiderius Erasmus, De bello Turcico (1530) and an abridgement of Paolo Giovioâe(tm)s 1531 Commentario de le cose Turchi, the section on Suleyman.
