About this book

La Historia de los mártires de la Ciudad de Otranto by Francisco de Araujo and printed in Naples in 1631, is the only Spanish historical text about the 1480 Ottoman invasion of Otranto. The work offers a key to understanding the causes of the invasion as well as the martyrdom of the 9 Christian Otranto residents. The present volume contains the first modern and annotated edition of the Historia, preceded by an analysis of the characteristics of the text and the circumstances of the Naples edition relative to its moment in history between the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
