Angiolello had been captured by the Turks at the fall of Negreponte (Halkida) in 1470.He entered Ottoman service and remained in the Levant up to 1483 when he returned to Vicenza. He did another voyage to the Levant in early 16th century. His travel accounts and notes remained largely manuscript, only a few part of them had appeared in earlier collections of travels. Reinhard did his PHD study on Angiolello and this book is his Thesis, published in extremely small print run. Angiolello provides unique and detailed accounts for 15th century Greece, after his capture at Halkida they moved him to Thiva, in July 1470 and after to Athens. He crossed Greece in autumn 1470 and we are able to follow his steps day by day. Livadia, Salino, Modenitza, Zitun, Niopatra [Ypati], Damocho, Larisso, Kitro, Salonichi, Lesseres, Chavalla, Gumuldjina, Dimotica, after several other cities visited in Eastern Thrace he arrived in Constantinople. He left a lengthy account for the monuments of Constantinople just a few years after the capture of the city. He mentioned several monasteries, decorative Columns and buildings, destroyed now. His invaluable account is one of our best sources for the identification of several monuments in Constantinople. The Thesis of Reinhard deals also with every aspect of his life. Extremely Rare.
