John Ray was the compiler of these important travels. It is the first English translation of the Rauwolf who was a German physician botanist and traveller. His main notability arises from a trip he made through the Levant and Mesopotamia in 1573-75. The motive of the trip was to search for herbal medicine supplies. Shortly after he returned he published a set of new botanical descriptions with an herbarium. Later he published a general travel narrative about his visit. In addition to botanical investigations Rauwolff observed and recorded his impressions of the people customs and sights of the Levantine region; he was one of the first Europeans to describe the drinking of coffee.

A good working copy of a very scarce title. John Ray FRS 1627 - 1705 was an English naturalist widely regarded as one of the earliest of the English parson-naturalists. His classification of plants in his Historia Plantarum was an important step towards modern taxonomy. Ray rejected the system of dichotomous division by which species were classified according to a pre-conceived type system and instead classified plants according to similarities and differences that emerged from observation. He was among the first to attempt a biological definition for the concept of species. In the spring of 1663 Ray started together with Willughby and two other pupils Philip Skippon and Nathaniel Bacon on a tour through Europe from which he returned in March 1666 parting from Willughby at Montpellier whence the latter continued his journey into Spain. He had previously in three different journeys 1658 1661 1662 travelled through the greater part of Great Britain. But from this Continental tour Ray and Willughby returned laden with collections on which they meant to base complete systematic descriptions of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Willughby undertook the former part but dying in 1672 left only an ornithology and ichthyology for Ray to edit; while Ray used the botanical collections for the groundwork of his Methodus plantarum nova 1682 and his great Historia generalis plantarum 3 vols. 1686 1688 1704. The plants gathered on his British tours had already been described in his Catalogus plantarum Angliae 1670 which formed the basis for later English floras. . First Edition. Full Leather. Fair.
