Kimberly Byrd offers the first complete modern edition of the Latin text of the original (1561) edition of Pierre Gilles' De Topographia Constantinopoleos, et de illius Antiquitatibus Libri Quatuor. As far as possible, the editor has carried over its book and chapter divisions and has matched the paragraph divisions of the Renaissance Latin into a modern edition. This edition presents a fresh and important addition to the scholarship on Constantinople, its ancient heritage, and to the evolving study and practice of classical archaeology in Renaissance Europe.
