Drawing upon travel, diplomatic correspondence, patriarchal letters, eyewitness testimony, and Eastern Christian documents, he describes worship and ecclesiastical life under Ottoman rule and across the contested frontiers of sixteenth-century Europe.Chytraeus's original 1569 oration is accompanied by a rich documentary appendix containing letters from the Patriarch of Constantinople and Mount Sinai, accounts of Athens and the Ottoman capital, descriptions of Greek doctrine and rites, and materials concerning Ethiopian and Armenian Christianity.
