Summary "Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 13" by Edward Gibbon is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This work examines the decline and eventual fall of the Roman Empire, providing a detailed analysis of the political, social, and military factors involved. The focus of this volume includes significant figures and events leading to the later stages of the empire, with particular emphasis on key conflicts and characters such as Amurat II, Scanderbeg, and the fall of Constantinople. The opening of this volume delves into the complex relationship between the Latin West and the Greek East, particularly during the time of the Byzantine Empire's decline. It introduces key themes such as the schism between the two traditions, the character of Sultan Amurat II, and the military campaigns of Ladislao, the King of Hungary, alongside the glory of leaders like Giovanni Uniade. This portion of the text sets the stage for the examination of alliances, conflicts, and the political dynamics that ultimately contribute to the Byzantine Empire's vulnerabilities and stagnation, leading to its tragic downfall.
