F. Noonan, The road to Jerusalem, pp. 198-202: "Jan van Cootwijk, dottore in legge ad Anversa, compì il suo viaggio in Terra Santa nel 1596; questo fu poi dato alle stampe, in latino, solo nell'anno 1619. L'Itinerarium si segnala perché, slegandosi dal viaggio ideale narrato da altri suoi contemporanei, descrive in modo realistico e problematico (con tono ansioso e metodico) quello che era diventato il pellegrinaggio ai Luoghi Santi, dopo che, nel 1571, i Turchi avevano tolto Cipro a Venezia".

1798LBW-7951[Paris, P.G. Chanlaire et E. Mentelle, An six de la République - 1798]. 328 x 430 mm, sur papier bleuté.
In-8 gr., 2 volumi, tela editoriale, pp. 674; 696; illustrati nel t. da numerose figure e f.t. (come da Indice) da 8 tavole di disegni che illustrano monumenti e rovine; da un ritratto fotografico dell’A. e da 2 grandi carte geografiche a colori (più volte ripieg.): “a sketch map itinerarium of part of North Western Arabia and Negd by C.M. Doughty - Travels, Nov. 1876 to Aug. 1878 in Arabia; May & June 1875 in the Peraea”. Questa celebre e importante opera, diventata un classico di viaggio e di esplorazioni, è introdotta da un lungo commento di T.H. Lawrence che dichiara: “"Arabia Deserta", which had been a joy to read, as a great record of adventure and travel (perhaps the greatest in our language), is a great picture-book of nomad life..”. In fine “Index and glossary of Arabic words”. L’A., Charles Montague Doughty, esploratore e poeta inglese (1843-1926), laureatosi in scienze nell’università di Cambridge e continuato a Oxford lo studio della letteratura classica inglese, compì in seguito una serie di viaggi alla ricerca delle influenze straniere sullo sviluppo della letteratura inglese, interrotta da escursioni dedicate alle linguistica, alla geologia, all’archeologia. Nel 1874 passò in Palestina, al Cairo, nel Sinai, poi a Damasco, dove si diede allo studio dell’arabo. Nel 1876-78 compì un ardito e avventuroso viaggio nell’Arabia settentrionale e centrale: fu a Mada’in Salih, dove studiò i monumenti e raccolse materiale epigrafico mineo e nabateo, a Taima, a Ha’il, a Khaibar dove fu imprigionato. Dopo una lunga odissea riuscì a raggiungere Gedda.. Nel 1888 pubblicò una relazione del viaggio (ed. ridotta, Londra 1926), concepita come un poema epico in prosa, la quale, oltre a essere un’opera di alto valore per la geografia ed etnografia d’Arabia, è anche letteralmente importante per le caratteristiche dello stile”. Così Enciclopedia Treccani,XIII, p. 188. Esemplare con barbe, ben conservato.

Detailed analysis of Banian and Parsi creationist beliefs, including the first humans, the first and second age of the world, God's communication to the world through Bremaw's book (Banian), ceremonial law, order of government, the derivation and meaning of 'Banian,' and 'Persee,' and more. This is the first printed summary of Hindu doctrines and practices to appear in Europe. Topics examined include idolatry, fire worship, immortality, rapture, vegetarianism, the Indian caste system and Hindu theory of world cycles - specifically Satya Yuga and Treta Yuga, as well as Persian migration to the East Indies, the prophet Zerdusht (Zarthusthra, Zarthost), so forth. A fascinating early treatise. Henry Lord's book was the first in English to be entirely devoted to discussion of Indian religions, and represents the first serious attempt to go beyond reports by travellers of the strange religious beliefs and practices that they had observed in India. Initially publishing his account in 1630, Lord was a chaplain, rather than a missionary, and made a serious attempt to understand the religions rather than condemn them. The display was used as a source by later European writers on Indian religions, most notably François Bernier. "Lord was sometime resident in India at Surat and Preacher to the Honourable Company of Merchants trading to East India (Cox I p.270)." Folio, measuring approximately 13.5 inches x 9 inches. 42 pages, numbered from 315 to 356, plus title page. In itself complete, this account is from Churchill's eight-volume work which contained numerous travel narratives, and was titled "A Collection of Voyages and Travels, Some Now First Printed from Original Manuscripts. Others Now First Published in English." These are the original pages printed in 1752. Mild foxing, otherwise in very good condition, clean and bright with wide margins, a lovely example of early printing. Attractively bound in recent green cardstock covers with label.
