CARPATHUS (Ital. Scarpanto)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 384 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAR-CAU
CARPATHUS (Ital. Scarpanto) , an
island
  about 30 M.
south
 -west of Rhodes, in that
part
  of the Mediterranean which was called, after it, the Carpathian Sea (Carpathium Mare). It was both in ancient and medieval times closely connected with Rhodes; it was held by
noble
  families under Venetian suzerainty, notably the Cornari from 1306 to 1540, when it finally passed into the possession of the Turks. From its remote position
Carpathus
  has preserved many peculiarities of dress, customs and dialect, the last resembling those of Rhodes and
Cyprus
 .
