Work translated into Spanish by Don Francisco de Olivares Murillo, published in Madrid in 1684. The original text, written in Tuscan by the Venetian Juan Sagredo, traces the history of the Ottoman Empire, offering an account of the sultans and the main events of that empire, from its rise to the time of Sagredo. The work stands out for its fluent narrative style and the depth of its historical observations, being one of the few chronicles on the Ottoman world available in Spanish in the 17th century. Olivares Murillo’s translation reflects the growing European interest in the history of the Ottoman Empire, especially at a time marked by conflicts between the West and the East.
