Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 13 by Edward Gibbon

"Storia della decadenza e rovina dell'impero romano, volume 13" by Edward Gibbon is part of a monumental historical work published between 1776-1789. This volume continues Gibbon's ambitious chronicle tracing Western civilization from the Roman Empire's peak through Islamic and Mongol conquests to Constantinople's fall in 1453. Using primary sources and employing ironic detachment, Gibbon examines the behaviors and decisions that led to Rome's prolonged decline. His anticlerical perspective and critical view of Christianity as a factor in imperial decay sparked controversy, making this both groundbreaking historical scholarship and provocative literary achievement.
