This paper argues that the two passages on Constantinople in Le Livre du chemin de lonc estude of 1402-1403 are crucial to understanding Christine’s text. In the first passage she reports on the splendors and ruins of the present-day capital of the Byzantium Empire; in the second, she expresses her hopes for the city’s future. Christine praises the current governance of Constantinople by Jean de Châteaumorant.
