De Europa is a piece of geographical and historical work by humanist and pope Enea Piccolomini/Pius II (14051464). It addresses the events that played out in the lands of Europe during the rule of Emperor Frederick III, to whom Piccolomini was secretary earlier in his career. He mixes events that he had personally experienced with adopted episodes, having been all around Europe and knowing many clerical and secular rulers of his time.
