• JEFFERY, George - Cyprus under Richard I, an English King in the Twelfth Century, the adventures of Richard I and the crowning of his Queen in the Island.

Richard of Devizes and Roger of Howden (Hoveden) are the chief English chroniclers of the most stirring episode in the history of the Crusades. There are numerous other contemporary records of the greatest importance: the chronicles of Ernoul, William of Tyre (Guillaume de Tyre), Jacques de Vitry, or the romances of the Fleming 'Jean d'Avesnes' or the 'Minstrel of Rheims'.

Paris: Charles Gosselin Furne, 1835 . 4 volumes, 8vo, half-titles, engraved portrait, folding table and 2 folding engraved maps in vol.4, nineteenth- century red calf-backed boards, spines gilt. First Edition. These four volumes, complete in themselves, cover the collected edition of his works. Lamartine travelled in great style in his own private yacht, presenting costly gifts to his hosts. The description of his visit to Cyprus is important as we have little other information at this period. Very interesting.
