Rushed into English when Britain took over Cyprus in 1878, von Löher’s account follows his travels from Larnaka through Athienou to Nicosia and across the island. He mixes landscape and village life, gardens and monasteries with the history of Cyprus under the Lusignan kings and their medieval statutes.
