Discussing the Ottoman opponents, notes: "and among the most bellicose are the Albanians, then Georgians [Iberi] and the Mengrellians [Mengrelli], the latter infamous for their madness [pazzia], drunkenness [ubbriacamenti] and thievery [ladronecci]."

  1. Francesco Sansovino's Historia Universale dell'Origine et Imperio de' Turchi is an important example of sixteenth-century historical writing about the Ottoman Empire. By examining its origins, rulers, military campaigns, government, and customs, Sansovino offered European readers a broad introduction to a powerful neighboring state. Traveling by bus is a convenient way to explore Mexico's diverse cities, cultural attractions, and scenic destinations. Choosing a Mexico bus service allows travelers to compare routes and schedules while planning their next journey across the country.
