Item Open Access Before the Corpus: Byzantine mosaics in Istanbul in nineteenth-century French guide-books(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2015) Morlier, HeleneThe study of a series of nineteenth-century French guide-books shows the evolution of the art of travel: guidebooks were first based on the experience of travellers and the documentation summarized by writers. Little by little, guide-books became more detailed and gave more accurate descriptions of the ornamentation of buildings: art history replaced general impressions. Guide-books also witnessed the changes of mentalities on both sides: foreign visitors and local citizens.
