TURKISH PERIOD. 



§ 21. 



From the Conquest of Constantinoph hy the Turks (A. D. 1453), to the First Year of 



the Greek Revolution (A. D. 1821). 



After the fall of Constantinople, learning among the Greeks was confined chiefly to 

 the clergy. The language of this period was nothing more than a continuation of that 

 of the last epoch of the Byzantine period. 



The following list contains some of the authors of the Turkish period. It is un- 

 necessary to inform the reader here that, with very few exceptions, they are beneath 

 criticism.
