Documents on Constantinople

The source most credible on information pertaining to Constantinople was Document #4, in which a cartographer illustrated the differences between the rich and poor of Constantinople.  The first document, by Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela, was aimed to show the public and outsiders the interior design of the city.  In Document Two, Robert of Clari explains to travelers and visitors the luxurious construction of Constantinople.  Nicetas Choniates is indirectly pleading to the Latins to stop their plundering by describing their greed and harm caused in Document Three.  The painting in Document Five, probably created by a Byzantine artist, shows the light of religion and is trying to make people realize what they are living by and also to make other non-religious people recognize the power religion has.  George Acropolites is simply giving an account of his time in Constantinople and is not speaking to a certain group or person.  The last article, probably written by a government official in Constantinople, describes the benefits that Venetians received after their contribution to the military.
