This beautifully produced book is a careful scholarly edition, with
extensive notes, of a hitherto neglected and little-known manuscript in
the Bibliotheque Royale Albert I in Brussels (together with extracts on
Izmir from another in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich). It also
has a substantial and informative introduction by its editor, who is, as
many of you will know, the illustrious President of MELCOM International.
