112964Venice Manfredo Bonelli 26 January 1505. . 8vo; title within decorative woodcut border 4-line decorative woodcut initial to A2 2-line initials elsewhere some toning and soiling small repair to fore-edge of title bookplate to front pastedown; later full vellum gilt lettering to spine on brown morocco title-piece minor worming to extremities and endpapers; collation: A-EE4; ff. 112.<br /> Rare 16th-century Italian edition of the world's first best-selling travel book. <br /><br />Although largely fictitious the journeys are based upon travellers' tales extant in the fourteenth century and as such are of considerable interest. Purchas considered Sir John Mandeville to be akin to Marco Polo in terms of importance 'the greatest Asian Traveller that ever the World had' Pilgrimes III p65. His travels take the reader through Turkey Armenia Persia Tartary Arabia India and China and gave many Europeans their first taste of the Near and Middle East as well as the East Indies. <br /><br />Little is known of Mandeville himself however he claims to be an English Knight who travelled between 1322 and 1356 serving under both the Sultan of Egypt and the Great Khan. Although traditionally attributed to Mandeville in reality the work was an English version of a text known as Itinerarium of which the original ascribed to Jean d'Outremeuse was probably written in Anglo-Norman French. All pre-1725 editions of Mandeville are scarce and editions such as this in a vernacular language particularly so. We have been able to locate just one other copy held at the British Library in London.<br /> USTC 839970. Venice, Manfredo Bonelli, 26 January 1505. hardcover

Octavo contemporary calf sympathetically rebacked raised bands. $5000.First edition first issue large paper copy one of only 350 copies printed of the definitive English translation of a fantastical medieval travel narrative that helped shape European thought on the Near Middle and Far East. One of the most popular travelogues of the Middle Ages Mandeville's Travels describes a 34-year-long voyage by a pseudonymous 14th-century English knight who allegedly journeyed from St. Albans to the Holy Land Egypt Arabia India Cathay Tartary and the realm of Prester John. The text is largely fictitious drawn from a variety of unreliable sources and the actual compiler is still unidentifiedbut ""the book remains and is none the less delightful for the mystery which attaches to it and in the history of English literature it stands as the first or almost the first attempt to bring secular subjects within the domain of English prose and that is enough to make it mark an epoch"" Pollard Travels ""Bibliographical Note"". The text was originally known via French and Latin manuscripts and first appeared in print in Dutch circa 1470; the present edition marks the first printed appearance of this English translation ""publish'd entire from an Original MS. in the Cotton Library"" which established itself as the most authoritative version. With tipped-in title page printed in red and black. ESTC notes that the work was ""printed by William Bowyer; his records show 350 copies printed."" ESTC T100822. Howgego I M39.

This is bound with Eothen or Traces of Travel brought Home from the East by ALexander William Kinglake. This also has a Critical and Biographical Introduction by Jacques W. Redway 228 pages. From Wikipedia: "Jehan de Mandeville" translated as "Sir John Mandeville" is the name claimed by the compiler of The Travels of Sir John Mandeville a book account of his supposed travels which probably first appeared in Anglo-Norman French and first circulated between 1357 and 1371. By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity. Despite the extremely unreliable and often fantastical nature of the travels it describes it was used as a work of reference Christopher Columbus for example was heavily influenced by both this work and Marco Polo's earlier Il Milione. Also from Wikipedia: "Alexander William Kinglake 5 August 1809 2 January 1891 was an English travel writer and historian. He was born near Taunton Somerset and educated at Eton College and Trinity College Cambridge. 1 He was called to the Bar in 1837 and built up a thriving legal practice which in 1856 he abandoned in order to devote himself to literature and public life. His first literary venture had been Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East London: J. Ollivier 1844 a very popular work of Eastern travel apparently first published anonymously in which he described a journey he made about ten years earlier in Syria Palestine and Egypt together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful. However his magnum opus was his Invasion of the Crimea in 8 volumes published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood Edinburgh one of the most effective works of its class. It has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan and unduly hostile to Napoleon III for whom the author had an extreme aversion. The town of Kinglake in Victoria Australia and the adjacent national park are named after him. A Whig Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament MP for Bridgwater having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852. He was returned at next two general elections but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on 26 February 1869. No by-election was held and after a Royal Commission found that there had extensive corruption the town was disenfranchised in 1870." D. Appleton and Company hardcover
