Pero Tafur in Constantinople

  • Aníbal Alejandro Biglieri
Keywords: Pero Tafur, religious, noble, bourgeois, tourist

Abstract

In Andanças e viajes Pero Tafur includes a lengthy section on Constantinople, which he describes from four different points of view: as a religious man, he contemplates the relics with a mixture of medieval credulity and modern skepticism; as a medieval noble, he wants to confirm that his ancestry goes back to an emperor of Constantinople; as a bourgeois, he pays close attention to the international trade in which Byzantium was inserted; as a tourist, he visits the city and its monuments, and he expresses his opinions on the society and its customs.
