Kommentar
Usually, late Byzantine times are perceived as a panorama of decay and
decadence. A common citation is "claim without reality." In any case,
after 145 (or 1461) the Ottoman Empire turns out to become the heir of
Byzantium.
The situation concerning the sources is thorny: Research tends to avoid
this era, because Byzantinists see themselfs confronted with the most
divergent texts in Classical Greek, Modern Greek, Old Serbian and in the
many Italian dialects. Plus Latin and Ottoman. Very few people actually
can cope with this multitude.
Most important though is the fact that the Ottomans at that time write but
charters in their language, not historiography.
This course will first give an overview over the great lines and events.
We want to investigate the question how an undubitable downfall could walk
hand in hand with an incredible bloom of culture?
