1574 Life Charles V Spain Alfonso Ulloa Ottoman TURKS Italian Venice Crusades

Alfonso de Ulloa was a 16^th-century Spanish historian best-known for his service to Charles V, King of Spain. Having moved to Venice to study, Ulloa worked in the embassy of Charles V where he gained knowledge on the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1560, he published the first biography of Charles V, a work which staunchly defended the emperor against Turkish invaders and the spread of the Protestant Reformation.

This work is exceedingly rare – there are no known copies in any institution in the western hemisphere! (USTC)
