Van Lennep, a missionary, stayed for many years, since 1844, in Eastern Asia Minor,which then was still very little known. He travelled extensively in the areas around Trebizond, Amassia, Tokat and Samsun. He is a precious and invaluable resource for Pontos hinterland. He provides detailed itineraries and the results of his archaeological discoveries. Atabey 1275, Blackmer 1716
