Definitive source on the fall of the Byzantine Empire 1298-1463 covering its invasion by the Ottoman Empire and Venice. Among Greek histories of the fall of Constantinople in 1453 the work of Laonikos ca. 1430-ca. 1465 has by far the broadest scope. Chalkokondyles recorded the last 150 years of the Byzantine Empire with extensive sections on the Venetian treachery and conquest. Byzantine - European relations are detailed in his account of Emperor Manuel II's journey to Western Europe to obtain aid. In the 1450s Laonikos set out to imitate Herodotus in writing the history of his times a version in which the armies of Asia would prevail over the Greeks in Europe. The backbone of the Histories a text written in difficult Thucydidean Greek is the expansion of the Ottoman Empire from the early 1300s to 1464 but Laonikos's digressions give sweeping accounts of world geography and ethnography from Britain to Mongolia with an emphasis on Spain Italy and Arabia. Following the methodology of Herodotus and rejecting theological polemic Laonikos is the first Greek writer to treat Islam as a legitimate cultural and religious system. Significantly for the later concept of Greek nationhood Laonicus explicitly linked the ancient Hellenes with medieval Greece.
