Gilles, Constantinople (2008)

Αρχαιολογικός και τοπογραφικός «οδηγός» των βυζαντινών μνημείων της οθωμανικής Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, ενενήντα ένα χρόνια μετά την Άλωση του 1453. Ο Γάλλος ιστοριοδίφης και αρχαιογνώστης Pierre Gille (γνωστός και με τη λατινική εκδοχή του ονόματός του, που ο ίδιος είχε επιλέξει: Petrus Gyllius) πήγε στην οθωμανική πρωτεύουσα το 1544 κι έζησε, μελετώντας εξονυχιστικά ό,τι είχε απομείνει, έως το 1547. Επέστρεψε για μικρό διάστημα το 1550, πριν γυρίσει στη Γαλλία. Το βιβλίο του (πρώτη έκδοση 1561) κυκλοφόρησε μετά τον θάνατό του. Αποτελεί την σημαντικότερη πηγή, στον τομέα της μνημειακής τοπογραφίας, που διαθέτουμε για τα βυζαντινά μνημεία και την κατάσταση τους έναν αιώνα μετά το 1453. “List of Illustrations” σσ. ix-xi. “Introduction” σσ. xiii-xxv. “Note on the Translation” σ. xxv.
