Paper Abstract
6 pages in length. The fall of any civilization marks a watershed moment in its historical commentary; when Constantinople fell at the hands of Mehmed II, those who were standing on the very ground upon which the weeks' long battle was fought reveal minutiae unlike any historian ever could. The value of eye-witness accounts navigates through gaping voids and embellished accounts of those who, while valuable in their own rights, can only surmise the truer points of Constantinople's ultimate collapse. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
