Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Vol. 6
by Edward Gibbon
In the last volume of Gibbon's history, we deal with the Crusades; the division of the empire by the French and Venetians; the Greek emperors of Nice and Constantinople; CIVIL WARS AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE GREEK EMPIRE; Magnates, Ottoman Turks; the rise and death of Timur or Tamerlane; union of Greek and Latin churches; the division of Greeks and Latins; The reign of Muhammad II, the disappearance of the Eastern Empire; Roman State Since the Twelfth Century; The final solution of the religious state; The anticipation of Roman ruins in the fifteenth century. They materialize the behaviors and decisions that led to the collapse and possible collapse of the Roman Empire in the East and West, and offer an explanation for why the Roman Empire fell. This work acts as a great literary achievement of the 18th century, as it is considered a model for the methodologies of modern historians. This led to Gibbon being called the first modern historian of ancient Rome.
