Florio Bustron (1500s - post-1568, perhaps 1570), was a 16th century administrator, jurist and historian. Florio became a prominent administrative figure when Cyprus was under Venetian rule. He came from a family possibly of Syrian origin, with Greek and Latinised members.[1][2] According to John Sozomenos who described the siege of Nicosia by the Ottomans in 1570, he died during the Turkish invasion.[3] His work Historia overo commentarii de Cipro was written in Italian prose. A part of his chronicle concerns the final years of the Kingdom of Cyprus with the internal crisis between Queen Charlotte and James the Bastard.[4] He was related to another Cypriot chronicler, Georgios Boustronios, Florio based part of his narrative to the earlier chronicle by Georgios, their chronicles both end in 1489.[5] Florio Bustron also makes one of the earliest references to Halloumi (in Italian, ‘calumi’) made from a mixture of sheep’s and goat’s milk.[6] The chronicle was later published by René de Mas Latrie, son of the French Historian Luis de Mas Latrie and it was reprinted in 1998 in Nicosia.
