The best edition of Gyllius!

Petrus Gyllius was a French natural scientist from the 16^th-century whose works ranged from topographical to studying about fish of the Mediterranean Sea. According to Blackmer, Gyllius works are

“among the earliest works to describe Constantinople and the Thracian Bosphorus. They provided authentic and reliable sources of information for early travelers.”

This first Elzevier edition of Gyllius’s ‘Bosporo Thracio’ is the first book written on the Bosporus, or the Strait of Istanbul. It provides a detailed account of the history of Istanbul as well as an in-depth look at Byzantine archaeology.
