Complete and well preserved set of the 3rd, revised and annotated German edition of Pococke's »A Description of the East and Some other Countries« (1743-45), profusely illustrated with 183 plates exclusively drawn and engraved for the German market. – Contents: The travelogue of journeys to Egypt, the Near East and Europe in the 1730s by English clergyman and scholar Richard Pococke (1704-65) covers Egypt and Ethiopia (Vol. I), Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Cyprus and Crete (Vol. II), as well as the Aegean Islands, Asia Minor, Greece and some regions of Italy, the German lands, Bohemia, Hungary and Austria (Vol. III). "Gibbon described the book as of »superior learning and dignity« (...)" (Cox). In his preface the editor of present 3rd German edition, Johann Friedrich Breyer (1738-1826), a professor for philosophy at Erlangen, claims to have substantially revised the translation of Windheim and Mosheim, which was published with the 1st German edition of Pococke's travel account in 1754-55. In addition this edition is enriched by comments of biologist Johann Christian Daniel Schreber (1739-1810), who annotated Pockocke's botanical findings (vol. II, pl. LXXXII-LXXXIX) in particular. – Illustration: As the editor also points out, the plates for this edition, though deriving from the same printing blocks like the 1st and 2nd German edition (1771-73), are printed on thinner paper of higher quality, and not on printing paper like before, which makes the engravings appear richer in contrast. – Condition: Covers at corners and edges occasionally bumped, boards, spines and joints in parts worn, front paste-downs with decent (private) library remarks, otherwise well preserved set with almost no foxing and fresh plates. – Rarity: Copies with the complete set of 183 copper-engraved plates (incl. titles) are hard to find in trade. – Reference: VD18 11217405; Blackmer p. 1323; Cox I, 224; Embacher 233; Graesse V, 373; Henze IV, 144ff., Ibrahim/Hilmy II, 124; Kainbacher4 357; Paulitschke I, 75; Rohricht p. 309; Tiele p. 689; Tobler p. 127; also see Gay 108.

Rare separate edition of Mabillon's collecting and research journey throughout Italy, with all plates an a distinct title leaf. – Contents: »Museum italicum sev Collectio veterum scriptorum ex bibliothecis italicis« (The Italian Museum, or Collection of old scriptures from Italian libraries) contains the results of a two-year collecting and research trip throughout Italy undertaken by the French Benedictine monk and scholar Jean Mabillon (1632-1707) and his assistant, Michel Germain (1645-94), on behalf of King Louis XIV. Mabillon's mission was it to purchase or to document manuscripts, rare books and artefacts of historical, literary, artistic or scientific importance. "Mabillon visited almost every library, art collection and church which offered something remarkable, and everywhere he found the most honourable and cordial reception. After 15 months of exploring the religious and scientific treasures, bringing to light forgotten works of literature, collecting precious books and transcribing manuscripts that could not have been bought at any price, he returned to France in 1686 and enriched the royal library with more than 3000 rare books and manuscripts." (Wetzer/Welte) – Edition, Illustration: The »Museum italicum« was published in 2 volumes (1687, 1689). Vol. 1 consists of 2 parts, of which the 2nd part contains copies of religious writings Mabillon discovered and no illustrations. The 1st part however contains the actual travelogue and is profusely illustrated, moreover with 12 engraved and partly etched plates, of which 3 folded. The plates show skilfully drawn and printed maps (e.g. Montecassino and Vallombrosa and surroundings), as well as details of striking artefacts, paintings and sculptures Mabillon found in churches, collections and libraries. As part 1 of the 1st vol. covers the journey itself the Paris publisher Martin obviously decided to publish it separately with a distinct title page, but simultaneously with the main edition. – Provenance: Owner's ink stamp of „Vincentius Columna“ (or Vincenzo Colonna, bearing a coat of arms) and ink hand-writing with the name „Blanchard“ on the title page. – Condition: Covers at corners and edges occasionally worn, some pages occasionally foxy, with stains and time-stained, otherwise in good condition. – Rarity: Copies of present separate edition of Mabillon's account are hard to find in trade, as of August 8th 2022 JBP/JAP/APO and RBH show only 1 auction result (1976, probably present copy). – Reference: Brunet III, 1261, Graesse IV, 317, Ebert 12587 (for »Museum Italicum«); Wetzer/Welte, VIII, 399f.
