HISTORY OF NICOSIA

LUDOLF VON SUCHEN
De Terra Sancta
Some fragmentary but interesting notes on Cyprus from the De Terra Sancta et itinere Ihierosol. of Ludolf, priest of the church of Suchen in Westphalia, are here translated from vol. II. pp. 210—217 of Mons. de Mas Latrie's Histoire de Vile de Chypre. The original work, printed in the fifteenth century without note of date or place (Strassburg, 1468?), is extremely rare. The visit took place between 1336 and 1341.
