Devia Cypria (Classic Reprint): Notes of an Archaeological Journey in Cyprus in 1888: Notes of an Archaeological Journey in Cyprus in 1888 (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Discover Cyprus through an 1888 archaeological journey that maps ruins, voices, and distant shores.
This nonfiction travelogue follows D. G. Hogarth’s summer exploration of Cyprus, focusing on the Papho district and the Carpass. Readers will glimpse how a Craven Travelling Fellowship shaped fieldwork among inscriptions, temples, and ancient ruins. The volume presents a careful blend of site notes, historical context, and Hogarth’s observations on local life and hospitality.
Structured as a practical report rather than a sweeping history, the book offers grounded descriptions of landscapes, excavation progress, and the legacy of Cypriot civilizations. It highlights places like New Paphos, Aphrodisium, and coastal towns as they stood in the late 19th century, with maps and references to earlier scholars.
- Ground-level field notes from Papho and Carpass, with attention to topography and ruins
- Context on ancient sites, inscriptions, and regional history of Cyprus
- Observations on local people, hospitality, and daily life during travel
- Historical references and scholarly citations guiding future explorations
Ideal for readers curious about late‑19th‑century archaeology, Cypriot heritage, and travel journals with scholarly insight.

Excerpt from Devia Cypria: Notes of an Archaeological Journey in Cyprus in 1888
The major part of the cost of publication has been defrayed by the Craven University Fund in accordance with a decree of Convocation: without that assistance the book would probably not have appeared, and I must tender my thanks especially to Mr. H. F. Pelham, and also to others who were concerned in obtaining and administering the grant.

Excerpt from Devia Cypria: Notes of an Archaeological Journey in Cyprus in 1888
In December, 1887, while holding a Craven Travelling Fellowship from the University of Oxford, I was commissioned with others by the Committee of the newly-formed Exploration Fund to conduct researches in Cyprus, by excavation and travel. As is now known to those interested in archaeological matters, we pursued the former method for several months at Leontari Vouno, Old Paphos and Amargetti, and results obtained from these several undertakings have been already published. But towards the end of May the heat and near approach of the wheat-harvest made it expedient to defer further excavations until the next autumn or winter, and my companions all left the island to return to Athens or England. We had made however no surface exploration of any considerable part of the island, and, being under no necessity to return to Oxford until October, I embraced the opportunity of carrying out a plan, formed some months previously, of exploring those districts of Cyprus which had been less frequently or less systematically examined by archaeologists, - to wit, the Papho district and the Carpass.
