Remarks content

Löher visited Cyprus in April 1875. He arrived there by way of Alexandria, Cairo, Port Said and Beirut. While in Cyprus he met the American consul Louis Palma di Cesuola, who presided over a series of excavations in the island. Löher travelled widely around the island, visiting various sites and monasteries. His work contains a wealth of information on the ancient, medieval and contemporary history of Cyprus. Other major themes covered in the book are the island's natural history, agriculture and the manners and customs of its inhabitants.
