Three Years In Constantinople PDF Download

Excerpt from Three Years in Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 3: Or, Domestic Manners of the Turks in 1844 Gyllius, Du Cange, Banduri, Pococke, Tavernier, and other eminent writers of former periods, have left little to be desired as regards Byzantine antiquities, and the topography of the Bosphorus. D'Ohsson, the most erudite and accurate of all Oriental scholiasts, has omitted nothing that can serve to elucidate the sacred codes, and the usages emanating from them, in his time. The elaborate and indefatigable von Hammer has been no less minute in his description of Constanti-nopolitan edifices, establishments, and chronology.
