However, its origins are obscure. \u003cem\u003eThe Beginnings of the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the founding of the Empire, drawing on Turkish, Greek, Arabic, and Latin sources as well as coins, buildings, and topographic evidence. Clive Foss takes the reader through the rugged homeland of Osman, the founder of the Ottomans, placing his achievement in the context of his more powerful neighbours, most notably the once mighty Byzantine Empire, then in the terminal stages of its decline. Foss then charts the progress of Osman's son Orhan, until the fateful moment in 1354 when his forces crossed into Europe and began their spectacular conquests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clive Foss\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198865430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198865438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.65h x 5.71w x 0.81d","brand":"Clive Foss","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43992743870719,"sku":"9780198865438","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_318d294d-74ef-4357-8387-cf7fd2b5d511.jpg?v=1683320540","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-beginnings-of-the-ottoman-clive-foss-9780198865438","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
