Thames & Hudson Ltd. Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1980. Hardcover. 0500250715 . DJ is protected in plastic. ; 160 pages; Mistra and the Byzantine Peloponnese constituted one of the most important (and thriving) of the Empire's surviving provinces. In the early 1400's, when the Turks had already reduced Constantinople itself to an island in an Ottoman sea, the Byzantines were successfully completing their reconquest of the Peloponnese from the descendants of the French knights who had seized it after Constantinople fell to the Fourth Crusade. Mistra remained Byzantine for seven years after the Turks conquered Constantinople itself; Sultan Mehmed II finally extinguished Byzantine rule there in 1460. .
