Beschreibung

Edition undated, but corresponds to the copy in the British Library. 4to, 14 leaves, 28 lines per leaf. A very good copy in later paper covered boards. The letters were falsely attributed to Mahomet (Mehmed) II, conqueror of Constantinople, by Ladivius Zacchia who claimed to be the translator but was, in fact, the true author. Purportedly addressed to Turks living in different parts of the Christian world, they were such a convincing literary hoax that 18 editions had been printed by about 1500, all are scarce.
