Historian Sir Noel Malcolm takes this document as a point of departure to explore the lives of the entire Bruni family, whose members included an archbishop of the Balkans, the captain of the papal flagship at the Battle of Lepanto--at which the Ottomans were turned back in the Eastern Mediterranean--in 1571, and a highly placed interpreter in Istanbul, formerly Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire that fell to the Turks in 1453. The taking of Constantinople had profoundly altered the map of the Mediterranean. By the time of Bruni's document, Albania, largely a Venetian province from 1405 onward, had been absorbed into the Ottoman Empire. Even under the Ottomans, however, this was a world marked by the ferment of the Italian Renaissance. In Agents of Empire, Malcolm uses the collective biography of the Brunis to paint a fascinating and intimate picture of Albania at a moment when it represented the frontier between empires, cultures, and religions. The lives of the polylingual, cosmopolitan Brunis shed new light on the interrelations between the Ottoman and Christian worlds, characterized by both conflict and complex interdependence. The result of years of archival detective work, Agents of Empire brings to life a vibrant moment in European and Ottoman history, challenging our assumptions about their supposed differences. Malcolm's book guides us through the exchanges between East and West, Venetians and the Ottomans, and tells a story of worlds colliding with and transforming one another"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000912234 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000912234 60010 $$aBruni, Antonio,$$d-1598. 000912234 60010 $$aBruni, Antonio,$$d-1598$$xFamily. 000912234 60010 $$aBruti, Bartolomeo,$$d-1592$$xFamily. 000912234 650_0 $$aEast and West$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000912234 651_0 $$aAlbania$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000912234 651_0 $$aUlcinj (Montenegro)$$vBiography. 000912234 651_0 $$aAlbania$$xRelations$$zItaly$$zVenice. 000912234 651_0 $$aVenice (Italy)$$xRelations$$zAlbania. 000912234 651_0 $$aMediterranean Region$$xHistory$$y16th century. 000912234 651_0 $$aTurkey$$xHistory$$yOttoman Empire, 1288-1918. 000912234 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMalcolm, Noel.$$tAgents of empire : knights, corsairs, Jesuits and spies in the sixteenth-century Mediterranean world.$$dNew York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2015]$$z9780190262785 000912234 852__ $$bebk 000912234 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=4083298$$zOnline Access 000912234 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:912234$$pGLOBAL_SET 000912234 980__ $$aEBOOK 000912234 980__ $$aBIB 000912234 982__ $$aEbook 000912234 983__ $$aOnline
