Renaissance emir : a Druze warlord at the Court of the Medici
Autor: Gorton, T. J.
A groundbreaking biography of the mysterious Levantine prince Fakr ad-Din. The year is 1613: the Ottoman Empire is at its height, sprawling from Hungary to Iraq, Morocco to Yemen. One man dares to challenge it: the Prince of the mysterious Druze sect in Mount Lebanon, Fakhr ad-Din. Yielding before a mighty army sent to conquer him, he astonishingly takes refuge with the Medici in Florence at the height of the Renaissance. Fakhr ad-Din took along with him a diverse party of Moslem, Christian, and
Jewish Levantines on their first visit to the "Lands of the Christians." During his five-year stay in Italy, he fights to persuade Popes, Grand-Dukes and Viceroys to support a grand plan: a new Crusade to wrest the Holy Land from the Ottomans, giving Jerusalem back to Christendom and himself a crown. This groundbreaking biography of Fakhr ad-Din, Prince of the Druze, is based on the author`s vivid new translations of contemporary sources in Arabic and other languages. It brings to life one remarkable man`s beliefs and ambitions, uniquely illuminating the elusive interface between Eastern and Western culture.
