Abstract


This paper offers the very accurate and interesting description of a journey through the Mediterranean, from Venice to Famagusta, of an italian Jew, Eliyahu da Pesaro, in 1563, based on the hebrew text of the unique ms. extant at the Bibliothèque Nationale de Paris. The four main topics of the text are: 1) the ambiance and general situation of the Venetian port during the previous days of the departure of the galleon. 2) the conditions of the voyage on the boat itself 3) the Eliyahu's itinerary trhough the Adriatic and Egean seas and 4) the island of Cyprus, specially the city of Eamagusta and the living conditions there.
