by Isidore of Kiev (Author), D. P. Curtin (Translator)

This volume contains six letters from the late Byzantine bishop, Isidore of Kiev, who was a prominent figure in the later Imperial church, and would become a Cardinal-bishop within the Catholic Church following the demise of the Empire. Composed from Venetian Crete, these letters chronicle the aftermath of the fall of the eternal city to the Turkish sultan and the political and ecclesiastical chaos that took place subsequent to its capture.
