Gustave Léon Schlumberger (1844 – 1929) was a French historian and numismatist who specialized in the era of the crusades and the Byzantine Empire. His Numismatique de l’Orient Latin (1878–82) is still considered the principal work on the coinage of the crusades. He was awarded the medal of the Royal Numismatic Society in 1903. A large portion of his extensive Crusader coin collection is housed in the Cabinet des Médailles a department of the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. 
 
 
About the Book: This book provides a detailed account of the siege, the military strategies employed, and the events leading up to the city’s capture by Sultan Mehmed II. It also explores the aftermath of the conquest, including the plundering of the city and its impact on the Byzantine world. Schlumberger’s work is based on primary sources and is considered an important historical reference on the subject.
