PAPERS AND STUDIES 1 393 - 430 1947 Greek Title Andrea Barozzi, the betrayer of Megalo Kastro Summary PDF This study looks at the closing phase in the Ottoman siege of Chandax and how it was linked to the act of betrayal by Andreas Barozzi, the military engineer who showed the besiegers the weakest points in the fortifications. Sources already known to bibliography are supplemented with documents discovered in the Heraklion Turkish Archive, published in an addendum. The study also sketches out Barozzi’s character and activity after the conquest, up until his eventual death at the hands of the Venetian emissary in Constantinople.
