This book surveys historical descriptions of Constantinople by visitors from the Middle Ages to the 18th and 19th centuries, offering insights into the city’s history and lost monuments. It is a tribute to Ebersolt’s scholarship and the city.
This book offers a comprehensive survey of descriptions of Constantinople written by visitors, from the pilgrims of the Middle Ages to the European travellers and diplomats of the 18th and 19th centuries. The author examines the evidence these accounts provide for the history of the city, and for monuments which have long disappeared. In its attractive synthesis of bibliographical, archaeological and historical detail, this work is a memorial to Ebersolt’s scholarship and a personal tribute to the city itself.
