Based on the discovery of a portfolio of the plans disceoverd in Venice in 1938. "This book is an attempt to gather together the historical resources relative to the castles figuring in the collection, and to present the results of my archaeological investigation , illustrated by early traveller's descriptions, by photographs of my own .... I have arranged the fortresses in the order as they fell to the armies of the Holy League in the campaigns of 1685-1792, ... In each chapter the fortress' history is recapitulated from its earliest known beginnings to its last military engagement, followed by an analysis of its architecture." Masterly, mammoth and not yet superseded this is a rare and classic work covering aspects of Greek history little studied or appreciated. 274p + XXXX plates.
