Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shores of the Adriatic: The Italian Side, an Architectural and Archaeological Pilgrimage The following pages deal with a part of Italy very little known to English people, except for a few towns such as Ravenna, Rimini, and Brindisi, and the author has been emboldened to publish his description of this interest ing coast by finding how small is the knowledge of the fine things to be seen in its cities - many of them almost unspoilt - even among those who might be ex pected to have an interest in the subject. It has been his endeavour to regard everything from the point of view of picturesqueness rather than from that of historical completeness. At the same time, he has done his best to note whatever appeared to him of special artistic interest, and believes that those whose tastes resemble his own will find in the volume information about things they would wish to see which does not exist in a compact form elsewhere. The guide-books are very deficient in this respect, and of comparatively little use to the archaeological and archi tectural pilgrim. He hopes also to interest the stay-at home traveller who desires to enlarge his knowledge of the Arts of Italy, and if possible to stimulate in him a desire to see with his own eyes the beautiful things described and illustrated.

I am only a man like other men; but you are now numerous, you are strong by the grace and protection of heaven; you have accomplished great deeds the renown of which has spread far, for never in history have nobler deeds been done by men so weak in number, with such small resources. Choose then from among you the wisest and most valiant and make him your chief. Do not abandon this fertile land which you have acquired so rapidly, though by very hard work. Then he devoutly joined his hands and added, raising his eyes to heaven, Lord spare me, have pity upon me who am a sinner?Lord of all Power Come to the help of Thy people whom I have led hither. He then addressed other noble words to those around and stretched his hands a last time towards them to give them that holy benediction which God has permitted the dying to leave to those who remain on the earth. Thus speaks Ordericus Vitalis. A priest stood beside him to whom he confessed in a loud voice, and then received the Sacraments of the Church, dying on July 17, 1085, aged seventy. With the conquest of Sicily Apulia became of less consequence, and the capital was fixed at Palermo. The Suabians, however, lived a good deal on the mainland, and Frederick II. built several residential castles and hunting-lodges. The earlier Angevins were equally fond of Apulia. At a later period it suffered greatly from the contests between the French and the Spaniards for the possession of the kingdom of Naples, and the excesses of Lautrec were disgraceful. One chivalrous episode stands out as a survival of the manners of the earlier period, the Disfida di Barletta, which took place in 1503. The French had besieged Barletta for seven months fruitlessly, and during this time it was agreed that eleven Spanish knig...

Hamilton (Frederick Hamilton) Jackson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-12 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACEThis volume is complementary to that dealing with the Italian side of the Adriatic, and follows much the same lines. It has not been thought necessary to repeat what appeared there about the sea itself, but some further details on the subject have been added in an introductory chapter. The concluding chapter treats of the influence which the two coasts exerted on each other, and contains some hints as to certain arch�ological problems of great interest, which deserve fuller and more individual treatment than they can receive in such a work as the present.In a country which still contains so much that is unfamiliar, so many medi�val survivals in customs and costume, and so much that is fine in scenery, architecture, and the decorative arts, the picturesque aspect of the country has been dwelt upon more than was the case in dealing with the Italian side, and the meticulous description of buildings has to a great extent been abandoned, except in cases where it was necessary for the full understanding of the deductions drawn from existing details. At the same time, matters of arch�ology have not been neglected, and the rich remains of medi�val goldsmiths' work have received special attention. The costume, the customs, and the folk-lore of the Morlacchi are also treated of in considerable detail.The determination of the Croat majority to stamp out the Italian language by insisting upon instruction in the schools being given solely in Croat will, in the course of a generation, make Italian a foreign language understood by few; and it seems wise for those who desire to visit Dalmatia to do so soon, while it is still understood and before Italian culture is forgotten.The present work does not pretend to in any way rival Mr. T.G. Jackson's classic volumes on the architecture of the country, in completeness of historical treatment or architectural detail. Though Sir Gardner Wilkinson had published a book on the country, and the brothers Adam's full description of Diocletian's Palace was well known to connoisseurs, he may be said to have practically discovered Dalmatia for the Englishman; and it is a proof of the excellence of his work that, though twenty years have elapsed since it was published, it has never been surpassed, and its value remains undiminished. To these volumes the author desires to acknowledge his indebtedness, as well as to the "Mittheilungen" of the Austrian Central Commission for the Conservation of Historical Monuments; the "Bullettino di Storia Dalmata," conducted by Mgr. Buli�++ at Spalato; the "Atti" of the Istrian "Societ� di Archeologia e Storia Patria," published at Parenzo; and the "Archeografo Triestino," published at Trieste, all chronicling discoveries as they were made, and containing articles giving interesting and reliable information upon the history and antiquities of the coast. In addition, the following works have been consulted:

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two shores of the Adriatic are totally different in their natural characteristics; the western being almost islandless and destitute of harbours, while the eastern is fringed by an almost continuous chain of islands and possesses several magnificent harbours which communicate with the open sea by narrow channels easily fortified, the rocks rising precipitously from the water along the greater part of the coast, whereas on the Italian side there is an equally continuous strip of alluvial plain between the foothills and the sea.
