Abstract:
In this paper an attempt is made to present the medieval town of Rhodes based on the information released by the Swedish doctor and history researcher Johannes Hedeborg in his five volume work, kept in the Library of the Archaeological Institute of Dodecanese and entitled: "Geschichte der Insel Rhodos, von der Urzeit bis auf die heutigen Tage nebst einer historischen Übersicht der Volker, Griechen, Römer, Araber, Franken und Türkern, welche die Insel beherrscht haben, mit einer Sammlung vieler Inscriptionen so wie vieler Abbildungen von Monumenten besonders aus dem Mittelalter" ("History of the island of Rhodes from the Early period until today, along with a historical analysis of the Greek, Roman, Arab, Frankish and Turkish peoples, who dominated the island with a collection of many pictures of monuments particularly of the medieval period"). A lot of information is given helping to reconstruct the picture of the medieval town of Rhodes mentioned by other travellers of that period, which will lead to drawing comparative conclusions.
