Originally released in ten volumes in the seventeenth century the first version of this two volume English language edition from 1720 was planned to have eight volumes issued by subscription. "It seems quite obvious that the response did not merit its continuation. The publisher Mr. J. Smith must have had a large number of these first two volumes on his hands and tried every means to sell them. The first attempt was by erasing the word "eight" on the title page and substituting "two.".This 1927 edition according to the preface is the first reprint of that English edition.

192714070608London: The Argonaut Press 1927. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. Number 628 of 975 copies quarto size 318 pp. Sir John Chardin 1643-1712 was a French merchant and traveler; the publication of the first volume of his "Voyages du chevalier Jean Chardin en Perse et autres lieux de l'Orient" simultaneously in French and English in 1686 permitted Chardin to "position himself as one of the most important arbiters of European commercial and colonial expansion. Over the next decade two successive editions of his 'Travels' were published in England along with reprints of his 1671 'Le Couronnement de Soleiman Troisieme.' In 1711 with the publication of the four-volume edition of his 'Travels' Chardin provided a full and authoritative account and abbreviated editions followed in rapid succession testifying to a nearly insatiable European interest in oriental studies and culture. By the time of his death in 1712 Chardin's chronicles of life and society in Persia had become one of the fundamental texts for this burgeoning field of study and his meticulous accounts of the country earned him the praise of Gibbon Montesquieu and Voltaire" ODNB. <br/><br/>This edition reprints the edition of 1720 correcting some printer's errors and updating the spelling of some names and includes facsimiles of the title-pages for the 1724 and 1720 editions as well as a portrait of the author by David Loggan and several plates.

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

31082 p.l. lvi 502 pp. 8vo 19th-cent. sheep-backed marbled boards flat spine gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: Dessain 1779. A most unusual copy very probably Chardin's own copy of this sale catalogue; it is the first of several sales here held under the maiden name of his wife "Filheul" by which Chardin one of the most important Parisian booksellers of his time periodically disposed of a portion of his vast stock. We know of later sales in 1806 1819 in London and 1824. This did not prevent Chardin from selling many rare books and MSS. directly to collectors throughout his career - the most outstanding was no doubt the Psalter of St. Louis which he sold to a Russian Grand Duke and which Louis XVIII acquired from him for the Bibliothèque Royale. The above catalogue especially rich in early French books is extremely well compiled and has been long held in high esteem. According to Longchamp I p. 496 La Vallière purchased heavily at this sale. One of the remarkable features of this catalogue is the large number of heterodox and politically subversive books betraying Chardin's sympathies which years later made him an enthusiastic supporter of the Revolution: of 122 lots only the number is given and their authors and titles are indicated by dots. In our copy these have been supplied by a contemporary annotator. According to Jean Viardot from whose library this comes this is Chardin's own copy. He has signed it on page 424 "Chardin A Paris en Juillet 1780." Another slightly later annotator has provided extensive notes on Chardin on pages 424-25. Chardin was eulogized at length by Dibdin who had him portrayed by Lewis in his Tour in France and Germany II pp. 400-404. Very good copy. 2544 lots; priced throughout in a contemporary hand. This copy lacks the final leaf with the list of 15th-century editio princeps. ❧ Gustave Brunet Dictionnaire de Bibliologie Catholique col. 459-"Il s'y trouve un assez grand nombre de livres rares et singuliers."
