However, its origins are obscure. \u003cem\u003eThe Beginnings of the Ottoman Empire\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the founding of the Empire, drawing on Turkish, Greek, Arabic, and Latin sources as well as coins, buildings, and topographic evidence. Clive Foss takes the reader through the rugged homeland of Osman, the founder of the Ottomans, placing his achievement in the context of his more powerful neighbours, most notably the once mighty Byzantine Empire, then in the terminal stages of its decline. Foss then charts the progress of Osman's son Orhan, until the fateful moment in 1354 when his forces crossed into Europe and began their spectacular conquests.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClive Foss, \u003cem\u003eGeorgetown University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eClive Foss is Professor Emeritus at Georgetown University.
