Description

Raymond Janin (1882 – 12 July 1972) was a French Byzantinist and a monk, who authored several work on the history, art history and geography, connected with the Ottoman Empire.

On the eve of the Greek independence he published this text on the history of Thrace, at the time still a part of the Ottoman Empire, and exposed a problem of the multicultural area, inhabited for centuries by Greeks, Turks and Bulgarians, as well as Jews, Albanians etc.

This is an uncommon separately published edition. The text was also issued in magazines Échos d’Orient (OCLC 5704902223). In 1921 Janin published a sequel La Thrace byzantine.
