Carlo Maggi (Latinized ''Carolus Magius'', d. c. 1587) was a Venetian citizen ("cittadino originario") and traveller. During 1568–1573, he visited much of the Near East, then under Ottoman control, including the city of Jerusalem, where he was made a knight of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre, and he was captured by the Turks during the siege of the city of Nicosia in the Cyprus War of 1570-1571, being able to free himself and to get back to Venice only after the battle of Lepanto, in 1572. He compiled a short travelogue in manuscript form in 1578, known as the ''Codex Maggi'', now kept in the Bibliothèque nationale de France. The manuscript consists of 18 miniatures by a Flemish or a Venetian master, showing scenes of Maggi's travels. A French commentary on the manuscript was published by Louis César de La Baume Le Blanc in 1761. ==References== * Ariane Isler-de Jongh, François Fossier, ''Le voyage de Charles Magius, 1568-1573'', 1992, ISBN 9782904420566. *''Description historique d'un volume composé des tableaux peints en miniatures qui représentent les Voyages & les Aventures de CHARLES MAGIUS ()'', Paris, 1761 ((online facsimile at bnf.fr )) * Baldan Ilaria, ''Codex Magius'', in ''Chypre, entre Byzance et l'Occident IVe - XVIe siècle'', catalogue of the exhibition at the Musée du Louvre (28/10/2012 - 28/1/2013), Musée du Louvre éditions, Parigi, 2012, n. 159.
