Olfert Dapper (1636-1689), a Flemish physician and intellectual person, knew perfectly the classical Greek and Latin literature. He was born in Amsterdam and completed his education in Utrecht. Although she never travels in her life, she gives herself to geography studies, so she always bases her knowledge on a wide area in her works. Thanks to his regular and centrist working style, he manages his research team in an exemplary way and publishes history and geography studies about China, Asia, Africa, America, Amsterdam and eastern Mediterranean islands. These books are decorated with high aesthetic standard maps and engravings.
The publication used mostly ancient Greek and Latin literature authors such as Herodotos, Pausanias, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Strabon, Aged Plinius, Apollonios, Hesychios, Pomponius Mela, Solinus, Stephanus Byzantius, John Hrisostomos. Apart from these, portolan (harbor) maps and island maps called isolario (Cr. Buondelmonti, B. Bordone, T. Porcacchi, M. Boschini, VM Coronelli) testify to contemporary travelers (P. Belon, G. Sandys, Sieur Du Loir, J Uses Spon and G. Wheler etc.), accurate maps of his time (J. & C. Blaeu etc.) and information from Dutch traders. Unlike Dapper's other work, "Archipel", this work is not translated into other languages; as a matter of fact, it is understood that the book was published only to praise the magnificent victories won by the Venetians during the Ottoman-Venetian war (1685-1688). Many of the striking engravings are inspired by the work of VM Coronelli. This work created a useful handbook and advisory text for future travelers.

Remember Ben Jones' crazy rockin' awesome open-source cartoon character Tux Dog? Back when tuxdog.org was still active I put this strip together hoping Mr.Jones & co. would like it. Sadly it got lost in the shuffle at the USPS so here it is now for your amusement.

The Smart Citizens Workshop was a blend of sensor technology, digital fabrication, data analysis and environmental activism, bringing together a group of able and motivated participants, being taught by top-notch maker gurus from Waag Society, data-visualization experts of FGV_DAPP, and with access to the IED Labs and the Olabi Fablab.
Here at last are my example pieces for the Metal Stamping class! I used a variety of metals and techniques. In addition to stamping with letter punches on a pre-formed blank and washer, I used metal shears and a disc cutter to cut my own blanks, hammer-textured three of them, and curved the larger black discs on a dapping block.

La Iglesia de Timios Stavros tou Missirikou se encuentra al este de la de Faneromeni. Es una iglesia de pequeñas dimensiones que data de los años del gobierno veneciano (es decir, a la primera mitad del siglo XVI). Durante el período del dominio turco, la iglesia se convirtió en una mezquita musulmana y se llamó Mezquita Arablar ("Mezquita de los Árabes"). La iglesia tiene tres naves con una cúpula, pero no se han conservado pinturas murales..
.
El plano del edificio es de tipo domestico bizantino de nave con dos naves poco profundas y un ábside semicircular. Las decoraciones arquitectónicas son sin embargo del estilo del siglo XVI, y el conjunto forma una curiosa mezcla de características diferentes. Las ventanas y las puertas tienen las molduras habituales de la época y los aguilones se ornamentan de una manera curiosa con las pequeñas armaduras invertidas para representar crockets. Los contrafuertes góticos regulares apoyan las paredes en cada lado..
.
Al convertir la iglesia en una mezquita las puertas oeste y sur han sido cerradas y un porche construido en el lado noreste. Un minarete singularmente pequeño también fue construido en la esquina noreste. El edificio fue reparado hace unos años, cuando se renovó el enlucido de yeso habitual en una mezquita;.
.
Esta pequeña iglesia o capilla es un excelente ejemplo del estilo de arte y la mezcla de elementos arquitectónicos que parece haber prevalecido en Chipre durante la ocupación veneciana. El plano cruciforme coronado por una cúpula es bizantino, los contrafuertes con goteos sugieren el período medieval, mientras que la talla de piedra decorativa evidentemente se copia de los dibujos de una descripción clásica o renacentista. Fue sin duda la intención de los constructores de imitar una de las pequeñas iglesias tan comunes en una ciudad veneciana. Se supone que esta iglesia es referida por Dapper como perteneciente a los misioneros italianos en el siglo XVII, el nombre corrompido de la Cruz de los Misioneros. Su nombre turco parece ser "árabe-jami", o la mezquita de los esclavos árabes, y la derivación más probable de "missiricou" es del árabe 'Misr' que significa Egipto, la tierra de la cual la mayoría de los esclavos árabes tendría Vienen, aunque el prefijo "Stavro" parece extraño aplicado a una mezquita.
