About this book
Albert H. Lybyer, a professor at the University of Illinois, asks whether the rise of the Ottoman Turks forced Europe to find a sea route to Asia. This article, reprinted from the English Historical Review of October 1915, sets out two views: that Turkish power blocked the old trade routes and drove the voyages of discovery, and that the way round the Cape of Good Hope owed little to the Turks. He finds the evidence overwhelmingly favours the second, and he surveys oriental trade from the close of the Crusades to the eighteenth century, separating the northern land routes from the southern routes through Syria and Egypt.
