Bayezid II: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Sidney Nettleton Fisher, The Foreign Relations of Turkey, 1481–1512 (1948), is a most useful monograph based extensively on Venetian source materials. Dorothy M. Vaughan, Europe and the Turk: A Pattern of Alliances, 1350–1700 (1954, reprinted 1976); and M.A. Cook (ed.), A History of the Ottoman Empire to 1730 (1976), serve to illustrate the contemporary attitude of historical scholarship toward Bayezid II. The article “Bāyazīd II,” in The Encyclopaedia of Islam, new ed. (1960), the standard work of reference for Orientalist scholars, includes a bibliography.
