HIGHLY IMPORTANT EARLY EXPLORATION INTO AFRICA AND A RARE EDITION IN FULL CONTEMPORARY CALF WITH ORIGINAL SPINE PANELS AND WITHOUT REPAIRS. A cornerstone to any collection of Africana this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over A hundred year period. This set with the added murray volume rarely encountered in matching binding as here.<br> With time on his hands and at the urging of a friend Bruce composed this account of his travels on the African continent including comments on the history and religion of Egypt an account of Indian trade a history of Abyssinia and other such material. Although Bruce would not be confused with "a great scholar or a judicious critic. few books of equal compass are equally entertaining; and few such monuments exist of the energy and enterprise of a single traveller" DNB. "The result of his travels was a very great enrichment of the knowledge of geography and ethnography" Cox II p. 389.<br> Bruce was one of the earliest westerners to search for the source of the Nile. In November of 1770 he reached the source of the Blue Nile and though he acknowledged that the White Nile was the larger stream he claimed that the Blue Nile was the Nile of the ancients and that he was thus the discoverer of its source.<br> The account of his travels was written twelve years after his journey and without reference to his journals which gave critics grounds for disbelief but the substantial accuracy of the book has since been amply demonstrated.<br> James Bruce traveled to Egypt in 1768 accompanied by the Italian artist Luigi Balugani. They spent five years in Upper Egypt Abyssinia and in the exploration of the Nile. With the exception of the French surgeon Poncet no European had visited Abyssinia in over 150 years so Bruce's account was of unique importance in providing valuable information on the region to Europeans. The plates based on his own and Balugani's drawings include maps botanical and zoological specimens antiquities artifacts and plans of monuments.<br> A cornerstone to any collection of Africana this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over a hundred year period.

1728BOOKS00671225144 contents and errata2 pages with 2 folding maps lacks frontispiece. Small Quarto 10" x 7 3/4". Rebacked in the 19th century leather retaining the original spine with raised bands and gilt decorative stamping and lettering to spine. Translated from the original Portuguese manuscripts by Jackim le Grande. First edition.<br /><br />Born in Lisbon he entered the Order of Jesus at the age of sixteen. In 1621 he was ordered as a missionary to India and in 1622 he arrived at Goa. With the intention of proceeding to Abyssinia whose Negus emperor Segued had been converted to Roman Catholicism by Pedro Páez he left India in 1624. He disembarked on the coast of Mombasa and attempted to reach his destination through the Galla country but was forced to return. In 1625 he set out again accompanied by Mendez the patriarch of Ethiopia and eight missionaries. The party landed on the coast of the Red Sea and Lobo settled in Abyssinia as superintendent of the missions in Tigre. He remained there until death deprived the Catholics of their protector the emperor Segued. Forced by persecution to leave the kingdom in 1634 Lobo and his companions fell into the hands of the Turks at Massawa who sent him to India to procure a ransom for his imprisoned fellow-missionaries. In this he was successful but could not induce the Portuguese viceroy to send an armament against Abyssinia. Intent upon accomplishing this cherished project he embarked for Portugal and after he had been shipwrecked on the coast of Natal and captured by pirates arrived at Lisbon. Neither at this city however nor at Madrid and Rome was any countenance given to Lobo's plan. He accordingly returned to India in 1640 and was elected rector and afterwards provincial of the Jesuits at Goa. After some years he returned to his native city and died there January 29 1678.<br /><br />Lobo wrote an account of his travels in Portuguese which appears never to have been printed but is deposited in the monastery of St. Roque Lisbon. Balthazar Telles made large use of the information therein in his Historia geral da Ethiopia a Alta Coimbra 1660 often erroneously attributed to Lobo see Machado's Bibliotheca Lusitana. Lobo's own narrative was translated from a manuscript copy into French in 1728 by the Abbe Joachim le Grand under the title of Voyage historique d'Abissinie. In 1669 a translation by Sir Peter Wyche of several passages from a manuscript account of Lobo's travels was published by the Royal Society translated in Melchisédech Thévenot<i>Relation des voyages</i> in 1673. An English abridgment of Le Grand's edition by Dr. Johnson was published in 1735 reprinted 1789. In a <i>Mémoire justificatif en réhabilitation des pères. Pierre Paëz et Jérôme Lobo</i> Dr. C. T. Beke maintains against Bruce the accuracy of Lobo's statements as to the source of the Abai branch of the Nile. See A. de Backer <i>Bibliothèque de la Compagnie de Jésus</i> edited by C. Sommervogel iv. 1893.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Old stamp and inscription on title page first folding map conspicuously restored second map tear restored else a very good copy notes to front end paper in period pen else about very good.
