The Bondage and Travels of Johann Schiltberger, a Native of Bavaria, in Europe, Asia and Africa, 1396-1427 - Johann Schiltberger

The Bondage and Travels of Johann Schiltberger, a Native of Bavaria, in Europe, Asia, and Africa, 1396-1427 is a historical account written by Johann Schiltberger himself. The book chronicles his experiences as a captive during the Ottoman-Hungarian Wars in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Schiltberger was captured by the Ottomans at the Battle of Nicopolis in 1396 and spent the next 30 years traveling throughout the Ottoman Empire, as well as Asia and Africa. Throughout the book, Schiltberger describes the various cultures and peoples he encountered on his travels, including the Tatars, Mongols, and Persians. He also provides insights into the daily lives of the Ottomans, including their customs, religion, and military tactics. Schiltberger's account is unique in that it provides a firsthand perspective on the Ottoman Empire during a time when it was expanding its territories and exerting its influence throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. The book is an invaluable resource for historians and scholars interested in the Ottoman Empire, as well as for anyone interested in the history of travel and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
