Von Budapest nach Istanbul.
Die Via Traiana im Spiegel der Reiseliteratur des 14. bis 16. Jahrhunderts

[Autor: Mihailo Popovic]

In his study Mihailo Popovic devotes himself to the history of the Via Traiana from ancient times to 1600, focusing mainly on the years after 1526. To this two-part-presentation corresponds a different methodological procedure: The presentation of the "Heerstrasse" (military road) - at the beginning of this book more chronologically examined by analysing different kinds of sources - takes the single stages of the way between Budapest and Istanbul into consideration as a picture of local conditions during the second half of the 16th century. Many travellogues written at that time allow this different perspective.

This work is completed by an extensive bibliography, a chronological list of the travel-literature used and the potted biographies of its authors as well as an index of names and places.
