Şehri Konstantin
City of Constantine
Mapping the remnants of Byzantine Constantinople
From Broken Bits of Byzantium (1872) by C. G. Curtis
From Broken Bits of Byzantium (1872) by C. G. Curtis
A court advisor's vainglorious first-hand account of the disastrous period immediately following Basil II's hard-fought reconquests. The biases on display are glaring and amusing. A great book to read before or alongside 'The Alexiad'.
