Nicolae Iorga
Draws on archival sources and family documents as well as Iorga's vast output of writing to interpret the life of the 20th-century nationalist historian and Romanian politician. He seems to have been born in the early 1870s and to have been killed by Nazis in 1940. Among the chapters are nationalism and the writing of history, the uncertain triumph, the struggle toward tragedy, the Axis rainbow, and consideration of his life and work at the end of the 20th century. The narrative is very smooth but information not very accessible. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Nicolae Iorga
The Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga played a critical role in the history of his country for more than fifty years until his tragic death in 1940. The author of more than 1,200 books and 20,000 articles, Iorga was one of the most prolific scholars of all time. In recognition of his academic achievements, he received honorary doctorates from universities around the world. Nicolae Iorga is the first comprehensive biography of one of the most important European cultural and political personalities of the first half of the twentieth century. It considers Iorga not only as a historian, politician, journalist, literary critic, playwright, writer, poet, and linguist, but also as an orator, teacher, and a human being.Written by Nicholas M. Nagy-Talavera, a leading American scholar, and based on archival sources and family documents, this is the first biography to present a complete portrait of the world-renowned historian Nicolae Iorga.

Entangled Histories of the Balkans - Volume Four
The present volume is the last in the Entangled Balkans series and marks the end of several years of research guided by the transnational, “entangled history” and histoire croisée approaches. The essays in this volume address theoretical and methodological issues of Balkan or Southeast European regional studies—not only questions of scholarly concepts, definitions, and approaches but also the extra-scholarly, ideological, political, and geopolitical motivations that underpin them. These issues are treated more systematically and by a presentation of their historical evolution in various national traditions and schools. Some of the essays deal with the articulation of certain forms of “Balkan heritage” in relation to the geographical spread and especially the cultural definition of the “Balkan area.” Concepts and definitions of the Balkans are thus complemented by (self-)representations that reflect on their cultural foundations.
Intercultural Contacts in the Medieval Mediterranean
These essays by medievalists touch upon many aspects of intercultural links in the medieval Mediterranean, covering not only strictly cultural and religious contacts, but also political, military, ethnic, social institutional, scientific and technological relationships.
Fake
Throughout history, forgers have attempted to fabricate documents to manipulate the historical record. The book explores the most egregious cases--their intent, effectiveness, exposure and significance--from the Donation of Constantine to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to the Hitler Diaries. Ironically, forgeries have helped advance the discipline of history. Case studies trace how scholars worked to reveal the truth behind bogus manuscripts while developing new tools and standards for accuracy and authenticity. In the age of "fake news" and digital editing software, the spectacular history of fraud in print has never been more relevant.
Entangled Histories of the Balkans - Volume Three
Modern Balkan history has traditionally been studied by national historians in terms of separate national histories taking place within bounded state territories. The authors in this volume take a different approach. They view the modern history of the region from a transnational and relational perspective in terms of shared and connected, as well as entangled histories. This regards the treatment of shared historical legacies by rival national historiographies. The volume deals with historiograpical disputes that arose in the process of “nationalizing” the past. Contributors include: Diana Mishkova, Alexander Vezenkov, Roumen Daskalov, Tchavdar Marinov and Bernard Lory.
Western Hostility to Islam and Prophecies of Turkish Doom
The tall tales of medieval pilgrims and the incitements of crusading preachers contributed their share to the hatred of Islam nurtured in most Christian hearts during the Middle Ages. Ridiculous legends grew up in the West relating to Mohammed, the stock in trade of preachers, who were always willing to inform their listeners about the origin of the Prophet and the nature of Islam. Pious Christians were usually assured that Mohammed had come to a bad end. Contents of this study: Early legends and prophecies; Christian hopes for the undoing of Islam; Bartholomaeus Georgievicz and the "Red Apple"; and Translations of the Koran and Increasing Tolerance of Islam. Illustrations.
Büyük Türk - Fatih Sultan Mehmed
Osmanlı hanedanı birçok büyük komutan çıkarmıştır, ancak Fatih Sultan Mehmed kadar bilime, felsefeye, tartışmaya ve sanata önem veren ikinci bir hükümdar çıkaramamıştır. Fatih, hem karakteri, hem de icraatı açısından Osmanlı padişahları arasında istisnai bir hükümdardır. Fatih Sultan Mehmed zamanında Boğazlar'da, Osmanlı hâkimiyeti kurulmuş, Balkanlar'da sınırlar Tuna'ya kadar genişletilmiş ve buralardaki topraklar emniyet altına alınmıştır. Anadolu ve Rumeli'deki Osmanlı toprakları da birleştirilmiştir.
