Collected Orations of Pope Pius II. Edited and translated by Michael von Cotta-Schönberg. Vol. 5: Orations 21-25 (1453-1455). 3rd version
Abstract
Volume 5 of the Collected Orations of Pope Pius II contains five orations from the three-year period 1454-1455. They were delivered by Piccolomini in his capacity of imperial ambassador at three imperial diets, held after the Fall of Constantinople in 1453. They are generally considered to be some of the most outstanding and influential orations belonging to the genre of Renaissance (anti)Turkish orations, though in the end they proved to be unsuccessful.
