Jones, David. A Compleat History of the Turks from their Origin in the Year 755 to the Year 1701. London: Andre Bell, Eliz. Harris, 1701. Volume two (only). Ex libris. Comes with fold-out map of the extent of Ottoman Turkish territory as of 1701. The westernmost quarter of the map has been lost. Three plates; one has lost its top half; all depict prominent Turks and their adversaries. These include Bayezid, Selim, Murad, Suleiman the Magnificent, as well as their European foes Skanderbeg, John Hunyadi, and others. The timeline of this volume begins with the Turkish conquest of Anatolia in the 11th century and ends with their flagging attempts to conquer Transylvania and the northern Balkans. The book purports to cover the "Rise, Growth, and Decay of that Empire in its respective periods", and correctly identifies in 1701 what contemporary historians assert is the nadir of the empire, a process unfolding over the course of the 17th century. The front cover detached and rear cover still holding attached. Interiors are clear and legible though have foxing at the periphery. Overall in good condition. Important and Scarce.
