Falkener, Edward; Belli, Onorio: A description of some important theatres and other remains in Crete: from a ms. history of Candia by Onorio Belli in 1586 (London, 1854)

TN a former article on the antiquities of Crete,* I published a
translation from an Italian MS. of the sixteenth century,
entitled " La Descrizione dell' Isola di Candia," containing a
general description of the antiquities of the island; accom-
panied with a table of the ancient Itineraries, and a map of
Crete, constructed from these authorities, and corrected from
the hydrographical survey taken by order of the Admiralty. I
now propose to lay before the reader extracts from another MS.
of the sixteenth century, written by Onorio Belli, which treats
more particularly of some of the best preserved and more im-
portant antiquities. The author of the MS., extracts from
which are here translated, Onorio Belli, was descended from a
family of artists, many of the members of which are also dis-
tinguished in the annals of literature.

but were omitted unintentionally.
