The text acocmpanying this map can be translated as:
Those who want to join this island
And her elect inhabitants, known as the Company of the Knights Believers
Must set no sight on earthly things
But love the holy and divine.
In summer the island is full of fine roses
That comfort the senses with their sweetness.
From these the island takes its name
For from roses 'Rhodes' in Greek derives.
Her ancient cities once played host
To many Lords of nearby Asia Minor
now called Turkey...
Then the land was nobler and greater
But earthquakes reduced her once proud towers to ruin. |
