About the Book: Istanbul : A Travellers Reader
Istanbul, A Travellers Reader is an wide-ranging and carefully chosen selection
of writings, offering a richly layered view of Byzantine Constantinople and
Turkish Istanbul. During the thousand-year Byzantine empire that followed its
founding by Constantine the Great, Istanbul became a city of fabled riches;
after falling to the Turks in 1453, its glories continued, maintained by the
strength and wealth of the Ottomans. Drawing on diaries, letters, biographies,
travelogues and poems from the sixth century AD onwards, this evocative
anthology recreates for contemporary visitors the vanished glories of
Constantinople. It provides vivid eyewitness accounts of the coronation of a
Byzantine emperor;
