== Early life, education and awards ==
Setton's childhood and adolescence were not easy. He supported himself from the age of 13. Setton received his bachelor's degree in 1936 as a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Boston University. He received his masters degree in 1938 and PhD in 1941 at Columbia University. His dissertation ''Christian Attitude Toward the Emperor in the Fourth Century'' was written under the direction of Lynn Thorndike. He also received honorary degrees from Boston University and the University of Kiel. He claimed that knowledge of languages is the basis of knowledge of historical science, and he spoke Italian, French, German and Catalan, besides his favorites, Latin and classical Greek.
Kenneth Setton spent nearly two decades finishing his classic work, the four-volume ''The Papacy and the Levant, 1204-1571''. For the first two published volumes he received the Haskins Medal of the Medieval Academy of America in 1980.
Setton received the John Frederick Lewis Prize of the Philosophical Society three times: first in 1957 for his work ''The Byzantine Background to the Italian Renaissance'', then in 1984 for his work ''The Papacy and the Levant, volume 3 and 4'' and in 1990 for his work ''Venice, Austria and the Turks in the 17th Century''.
