Atiya Aziz Suryal. The Crusade of Nicopolis
London: Methuen & Co., 1934. — 257 p.
The present study is the final chapter of a projected history of the crusade in the later Middle Ages. It is hoped that its publication may serve to strengthen the conception, now increasingly held among scholars, that the medieval crusade survived St. Louis' death outside the walls of Tunis in I270, and that attempts to save the Holy Land persisted after the fall of Acre in I29I. The crusading movement continued to be a force in European politics until the Crusade of Nicopolis in the last decade of the fourteenth century.
An attempt has here been made to collect and sift all available sources, Eastern and Western, printed and
manuscript, with intent to set forth as complete a history of this momentous event as is possible. A survey of the Nicopolis of to-day and its approaches on the Bulgarian side of the Danube, may, perhaps be legitimately included in the body of evidence examined.
