520			_a"The fall of Constantinople in May 1453, after a siege of several weeks, came as a bitter shock to Western Christendom which had failed to see the city's plight and had sent negligible help. To the Turks, victory not only brought a new imperial capital but guaranteed that their Empire would last. To the Greeks, the conquest meant the beginning of long centuries of captivity. It also meant the end of the civilization of Byzantium and set off the exodus of scholars which enlivened Greek studies in the European Renaissance."-- Publisher's description.
