- Description
- Johannes Hedenborg (1800–1870), a doctor and
historian, after extensive travel in Europe, Asia and Africa chose
to settle on the island of Rhodes. He tirelessly collected material
for a five-volume work in German entitled "History of the Island of
Rhodes, from antiquity until today, with a historical review of the
Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Franks and Turks who ruled the island, with
a collection of many inscriptions and illustrations especially of
medieval monuments (1854)". In the fifth volume of the work of
Hedenborg we can find the illustrations of cannon which were in use
during the period of the Knights of St John, in certain positions
in the walls of the medieval city of Rhodes. Through the
combination of the manuscript and these illustrations we can learn
about their positions and what they looked like.
