Chez Jacques Le Febvre, in Paris 1688, in-4 (18 x 25.5 cm), (20) 558pp(11), bound

New Edition. The author wrote this work in Italian and published it in Milan in 1674, he did the translation himself.

Bound in full brown calf. Spine in decorated compartments. Title piece in brown morocco. Top spine end skillfully restored and redecorated. Title page mounted, as well as the first page of the foreword. Remnants of adhesive between the endpaper page and the title page. Good fresh paper, except on the pages of the epistle.

A beautiful copy.

The author, a Capuchin monk by the name of Justinien de Tours (he will have another pen name) lived for a long time in the Middle East and took many trips within the Turkish provinces. The work proposes to set the scene of the Turkish Empire's decadence and of its unrest. If the first chapters deal with Mohammedan religion by discrediting it, the whole book addresses the subjects of the most varied traditions and customs.
