Anmerkungen
Göllner, Turcica 664. Cf. Adams G681 (ed. Venice[?] 1541); cf. Atabey 49: "Giovio's work was the most popular source of information on the Turks in the 16th century. It is also of significance as a symbol of resistance to the continued expansion of the Turkish forces. Giovio, provoked by the siege of Vienna in 1529, regarded this work as his contribution to the struggle as is clear from his dedication to Charles V." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXX.
