Historic Cyprus: A Guide to Its Towns and Villages, Monasteries and Castles Rupert Gunnis

Rupert Gunnis is one of the founding fathers of Cypriot historiography. Whilst working as an administrator in the British Colonial Government of Cyprus in the 1930s he visited every town and city on the island, recording its interesting historic buildings and sites. In this facsimile of 1936 edition of the resulting book, not only do we gain a snapshot of a Cyprus that has now long gone, but find a text that is still surprisingly useable as a guide to the material culture of Cyprus.
