The True Description of Cairo: A Sixteenth-Century Venetian View
ISBN: 9780197144060 / Angielski / Twarda / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Nicholas Warner provides a context for Pagano's view of Cairo, a translation of Postel's text, and a commentary on the contents of the engraving itself...
