The Great Palace of Constantinople is a book written by A. G. Paspates that provides a detailed account of the magnificent palace complex that served as the residence of the Byzantine emperors for over 800 years. The book is divided into several chapters that cover various aspects of the palace, including its architecture, history, and the daily life of the imperial court. The author also discusses the various renovations and additions made to the palace over the centuries, as well as its eventual decline and destruction. The book is illustrated with numerous photographs, drawings, and maps that help to bring the palace to life and provide a visual representation of its grandeur. Overall, The Great Palace of Constantinople is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of Byzantium or the architecture of ancient palaces.1893. In the following account of the Palace of Constantinople, the Hippodrome, and the neighboring Augustaion, I often recall the difficulties of the task. Students of the Palace as it is presented in the latest works of Greek and Western writers, can form some idea of the confused nature of the subject, which, indeed, none admit more frequently than the writers themselves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
