A Description of the East, and Some Other Countries, Vol II, Part II, INCOMPLETE

Beschreibung

Richard Pococke was an English clergyman, but was best known for his travel writings. This is generally considered a very good account of travel in the Middle East, based on his travels there 1737-1740. This is a serviceable partial copy of Vol II, Part II with 49 out of 67 plates (4 are maps), including all 8 Ehret botanical plates of the plants from the East. The volume starts with complete sections of Books 1, 2, 4 and partial of Book 3. [Book the First of the Greek islands of the Archipelago, Book the Second of Asia Minor, (partial) book the Third of Thrace and Greece, Book the Fourth of . Europe]. Includes maps of Asia Minor (double page), Propontis, Cyzicus, Lake Thrasimene. Some border damp on the foredge, but not into plate image. A paper fault on some pages has caused darkening along fault lines in paper; an interesting effect which does not detract. Lacking covers, title page and everything before page v of the contents; v to vii; pp1-126 and pp169-308 (includes index), missing 18 plates and text from pp126 through 169. Disbound, folio size. A good "hospital copy:".
