Chalcondyles, Laonicus
, was also a native of
Athens, who flourished in the latter part of the fifteenth
century, but nothing farther is known of his history, and
his name is perpetuated only by his work “De Origine et'
rebus gestis Turcoman,” Paris, 1650, fol. containing, in
ten books, a history of the Turks from 1298 to 1462. He
describes the ruin of the empire of Constantinople, and at
the end are the “Annales Sultanorum,” translated into
Latin by Leunclavius. There is a French translation of it
by Blaise de Vignere, 1660, 2 vols. fol. continued by
Mezerai and others. It is esteemed a work of considerable authority. 2
