Andrew Moore's "Compendious History of the Turks" is a rare, 17th-century history of the Ottoman Empire through the mid-1600s.

This particular tome contains descriptions of kings including Mehmet III, Ahmed I, Mustafa I, Osman II, and Ahmed II. Curiously, Moore refers to the Ottoman's in this work as a "barbarous nation, the world's present terror" in hopes of exposing kingdom warring against the Habsburgs in the mid-17th-century.
