During his travel in the Levant, he visited Cyprus during the last years of the Ottoman domination. His report on Cyprus is valuable. The detailed descriptions of the countries and people of Levant, along with his detailed conclusions, are typical of the German scientific approach, aimed at a knowledgeable audience.
