Description

Explore a significant historical record with Hospitaller Piety and Crusader Propaganda. This work examines Guillaume Caoursin's Description of the Ottoman Siege of Rhodes, 1480. As the Vice-chancellor of the Order of the Hospital, Caoursin produced the Obsidionis Rhodiae urbis descriptio to serve as the official account of the Ottoman siege against the Knights in Rhodes. This text represents the first authorized account of the Order's activities to be published in printed form. During the 15th century, it became one of the best sellers, meeting the demand in Western Europe for news regarding Christian victories in the conflict with the Turks. This book provides insight into how the Descriptio helped shape public perception of the era's military and religious events. It is an essential resource for those studying ancient history, Greek civilization, and the historical impact of printed media on public opinion.
