Only the first of ten volumes was translated into English which was published concurrently with the French version; this volume covers the author's journey from Paris to Ispahan and contains the author's half-length portrait by Loggan in addition to 18 copper plates mostly folding. In 1664 Chardin started for the East Indies and journeyed by Constantinople and the Black Sea reaching Persia in 1666. That same year the shah Abbas II made Chardin his agent for the purchase of jewels. In the middle of 1667 Chardin visited India and returned to Persia in 1669. The next year he arrived in Paris. He issued an account of some events to which he was an eyewitness in Persia entitled 'Le Couronnement de Soleiman Troisième' Paris 1671. A learned nobleman Mirza Sefi a prisoner in his own palace at Isfahan had entertained Chardin instructed him in the Persian language and assisted him in this work. <br>Chardin again started for the East in 1671 and was at Constantinople from March to July of 1672. A quarrel between the grand vizier and the French ambassador made the position of French subjects dangerous and Chardin escaped across the Black Sea. He stayed at Ispahan for four years and made various journeys throughout the land from the Caspian to the Persian Gulf and the river Indus visiting several Indian cities. <br>In 1681 Chardin emigrated to England and a few years later he was appointed to the East India Company; during this time he had a chance to work on the publication of his memoirs assisted by John Evelyn. <br><br> Size: Narrow Folio Illustration: A very good example of this First English Edition of Chardin’s voyages.

Formerly in the collection of famed bibliophile Henri Burton of Geneva his morocco bookplate neatly to front endpaper. <br/><br/>French sammelband of the Travels of Sir Jean Chardin; one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and India and Spons History of Geneva from the collection of Henri Burton. A great deal of European travel writing details the history of Europes relationship to the Orient a place highly exoticized by western observers. Jean Chardin was a trader and the son of a jeweler who first went to the Levant in 1665 to purchase gems. He made a second journey in 1671 in the company of the artist Guillaume Grelot whom he met in Istanbul and whose drawings inspired the engravings in the present work. This edition comprises the first volume of the authors manuscript dealing with the period 1671-1673 and is all that was published until 1711. His work is divided into four parts: the first recounts his journey from Paris to Ispahan 1671-77 the second describes Persia and Ispahan the third the ruins of Persepolis and the fourth gives a history of Persia based on Persian writers. /// Spon 1647-1685 was a doctor and pioneering archaeologist of Greek antiquities. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes he fled France for Switzerland dying not long after in Geneva. His history of Geneva first published in 1680 was translated into English in 1687. Chardin an experienced trader is in a position to give detailed accounts of trade-routes prices articles bought and sold customs problems and so on whereas Spon is primarily interested in Antiquity concentrating on giving the exact wording of inscriptions illustrations of medals and ancient buildings and the comparison of towns and landscapes with the descriptions which appear in Classical texts. A fine sammelband neat and sturdy contained two important travel texts printed within just one year of each other. chez Jean Wolters et Ysbrand Haring / Frans Halma hardcover books

Volume II joints head of volume III rear joint head of volume IV joints and head of rear joint of volume V starting with boards firmly held. Front hinge of volume I strained but firmly held. Inscription to a front free endpaper of each volume. Internally firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned with the odd spot and handling mark throughout.
