About this book
The Republic of Ragusa: An Episode of the Turkish Conquest is by Luigi Villari. The prefatory note says accounts of Dalmatia have been written in English, many of which include a historical survey of Ragusa. The note adds that the only special histories of the town itself are in German or Italian, and even those are not by any means complete.
One chapter is headed The Foundation and Early History of the City, with the years 656-1204. The text says that in Dalmatia, Latins and Slaves have remained distinct and separate to this day, in language, character, and ideals, and that the Latin cities were like islands in a Slavonic sea. The text says the land war in the Balkans began badly for the Christians, and that on November 11 the Hungarians were utterly routed at Varna, in Bulgaria.
