n 12° (11,4×6 cm); 327, (9) pp. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena floscia. Titolo manoscritto al dorso, in parte sbiadito. Alcuni difetti alla legatura nel margine basso del dorso e ai piatti (leggeri), mentre, all’interno a parte un leggerissimo alone al margine alto del volume, praticamente invisibile ed ininfluente, il volume si presenta in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima edizione di questa elzeviriana dedicata agli sconfinati territori della Russia. L’opera è una dettagliata descrizione ella situazione storica, geografica, folklorica, politica, militare, economica, religiosa, della Russia, di Mosca e della Tartaria nei primi decenni del diciassettesimo secolo. Lo studio è normalmente attribuita al noto studioso olandese, Marc Zuerius Von Boxhorn (28 agosto 1612 – 3 ottobre 1653) che fu a lungo professore all’Univeristà di Leida. Studioso di linguistica, trovò un collegamento fra le lingue indoeuropee arrivando a definire una comune radice linguistica in una lingua che von Boxhorn chiamò “scita”. La sua ipotesi vedeva come facenti parte dello stesso ceppo linguisitco l’olandese, il greco, il latino, il persiano e il tedesco, aggiungendo in seguito le lingue slave, celtiche e baltiche. In modo alquanto curioso escluse altre lingue da queste comuni origini, come ad esempio, l’ebraico. Rif. Bibl.: IT\ICCU\TO0E\008429; Rahir, 312; Berghman, 1890; Goldsmith, III, 37; Rostenberg, 128; Cat. Russica, II, 233. Manca al Brunet e al Graesse. Coquebert de Taizy, nella voce da lui scritta sul Boxhorn per la “Biographie Universelle” del Michaud (V, 416-417), non conosce questo scritto, forse in ragione della sua anonimia.
