Descrição: Born just thirteen years after the fall of the last of the crusader kingdoms, and forty-three years after the end of Latin rule in Constantinople, Petrarch witnessed a time when Western losses in the eastern Mediterranean were perceived as both a fresh wound and a temporary setback. While modern scholars tend to see the defeats of 1291 as the abrupt end of an era, it is crucial to note that the mood in western Europe in the following years was far from desperate or pessimistic. On the contrary, a sense of determination and responsibility to recover the Holy Land prevailed. During Petrarch's adult years, the gains of the Ottoman Turks in Anatolia and the Balkan Peninsula brought a new sense of urgency to the “Eastern problem.” As Petrarch himself starkly put it, the Turks were “crossing over from there [Greece] toward us and true Catholicism.” Throughout Petrarch's writings, the East appears repeatedly as a topic of interest, concern, and historical curiosity; moreover, it is frequently employed as a literary motif or an apocalyptic theme.
