Russian pilgrim depictions of Constantinople have long been recognized as among the best sources for the topography of the Byzantine capital. Russian Travelers to Constantinople in the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Centuries is the first scholarly edition of these five Russian travel narratives. The accompanying English translations make this material available to scholars who do not read Old Russian. The substantial commentary relates the Russian material to other sources for Byzantine and medieval Russian history as well as to modern archaeological and historical scholarship.
