I discovered this book while researching a screenplay I want to write for an audio production on the event. The author is not known but I have inquired to the Order to see if they have any knowledge of who he was. I searched for and and added the 5 illustrations in the book and touched up the St John’s Cross and “Finis” images from the scan of the original work. The cover design is a collage of a pair of contemporary maps depicting the siege each with it’s own charm and artistic flair.
