Octavo 8 3/4" x 6" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship <i>Victoria</i> embossed on front cover with cover edges blind stamped in original jacket. Edited by E G R Taylor. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society second series volume 121. First edition.<br /><br />William Bourne of Gravesend by trade a gunner was a successful writer of a new type of textbook. Neither a scholar not of gentle birth both of which were regarded as the prerequisites of authorship in the sixteenth century when scientific books were expected to appear only in universities and to be read only by those fluent in Latin Bourne nevertheless produced a whole series of technical manuals written in English for the artisans and craftsmen of his own class. <i>A Regiment for the Sea</i> which forms the core of the volume is perhaps the earliest technical manual written by an Englishman. It is not simply his rules for navigation for Bourne wrote much as he spoke so that out of this instruction book for sailors a clear picture of the man himself emerges: serious reliable patriotic and with this inborn impulse to pass on his knowledge to others. The first edition of 1574 is printed here in full with the additional material which was added to the 1580 edition. Taylor has also included two <i>Almanackes</i>. She has written an introductory section to each text and in her General Introduction she fills in the details of Bourne's life and discusses his various writings.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Pages uncut corners bumped.

2010046573London: I.B. Tauris 2010 Book. As New. Hardcover. 1st UK Edition. For almost four hundred years between the fall of Constantinople in 1453 and the Greek War of Independence the history of Greece is shrouded in mystery: distorted by Greek writers and largely neglected by others. What was life really like for the Greeks under Ottoman rule Was it a period of exploitation and enslavement for the Greeks until they were finally able to rise up against Turkish rule as is the traditional Greek nationalistic view Or did the Greeks derive some benefit from Turkish rule How did the Greeks and Turks co-exist for so long And why are Greek attitudes towards Venice who also controlled much of Greece for many of these years so different In this wide-ranging yet concise history David Brewer explodes many of the myths about Turkish rule of Greece. He places the Greek story in its wider international context and casts fresh light on the dynamics of power not only between Greeks and Ottomans but also between Muslims and Christians both Orthodox and Catholic throughout Europe. This absorbing and riveting account of a crucial period will ensure that the history of Greece under Turkish rule is no longer hidden. 308p. bibliography index. Paper slightly age toned. I.B. Tauris hardcover
