Leipzig: Heironymus Megister, 1610. 75 x 115mm. Map of Bantam on Java, engraved by Heinrich Gross jnr. for a German edition of the travels of Ludovico di Varthema (or Barthema, c. 1470-1517), the first non-Muslim European to enter Mecca as a pilgrim. Born in Bologna, he travelled to Egypt and Syria in 1503, where he learned enough to enlist as a Mamluk in Damascus. Under this cover he made the pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina as one of the Mamluk escort of the Hajj caravan the same year. His account has satisfied later scholars, including Richard Burton, as authentic. From Arabia he travelled to India, Sri Lanka, Sumatra, Borneo & the Moluccas. In 1506, wishing to return home, he joined the Portuguese garrison at Kannur in India, with whom he stayed untill he could join a ship returning to Europe in late 1507. His account then describes the east coast of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope, St Helena, Ascension and the Azores before landing at Lisbon. He returned to Italy, publishing this account for the first time in 1510. Not in Tibbetts.

[10], 466, [6] ll.First English edition of Ludovico di Varthema's famous account of travels to Arabia, Syria, Persia, Ethiopia, India and the East Indies: a highly important and adventurous narrative including his 1503 visit to Mecca and Medina, the first recorded visit of a European (probably of any non-Muslim) to the Islamic holy cities. "Varthema's Itinerario, first published in 1510, had an enormous impact at the time, and in some respects determined the course of European expansion towards the Orient" (Howgego). It is here combined with various other travel accounts, including some taken from a collection by d'Anghiera. Varthema's account became a bestseller as soon as it appeared in 1510 and went through about twenty editions in various languages in the next fifty years. It certainly provided many Europeans with their first glimpse of Islamic culture and of non-European cultures in general.With a contemporary manuscript table of contents and an occasional marginal manuscript note in the same hand, and the armorial bookplate of Sir Arthur Help (1813-1875). With the first 6 and last 8 leaves in a 19th-century facsimile, but otherwise in good condition, with the head or foot of 4 leaves extended and a few other marginal defects not affecting the text. Binding fine. First English edition of a seminal work on the Middle East.l Cox I, p. 2; ESTC S122069; Howgego, to 1800, V15.

LXXXV, [1 blank], 121, [3] pp.Ludovico di Varthema (ca. 1468-1517) was one of the first Europeans to visit the cities of Mecca and Medina and to travel as far east as India and the East Indies, whose travel account survived. Varthema was an Italian traveller and author. He probably came from Bologna or possibly Rome and he might have been a soldier in the papal forces, but not much is known about his early life. Due to Varthema writing and later publishing his travel account, much more is known about where he spent his later life. In 1802, he sailed from Venice via Cairo in Egypt to Damascus in Syria, where he embarked upon his first remarkable journey. He joined a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, being one of the first Europeans to enter these holy cities, and then continued south through the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen. From Aden in Yemen he sailed to several cities on the coast of Somalia before sailing along the coast of Oman to Ormuz, Iran and subsequently travelling inland across Persia to IndiaAn extensive analysis of Varthema and his travels by Richard Carnac Temple has been added to the English translation and the whole work has been edited by Norman Mosley Penzer, to make the present work. R.C. Temple (1850-1931) was an Indian-born British administrator and an anthropological writer. He was a member of several societies and institutes, such as the Royal Asiatic Society, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Hakluyt Society. The editor, N.M. Penzer (1892-1960), was a British scholar specialised in Oriental studies and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.Binding slightly soiled, edges foxed and untrimmed.

4to. LXXXV, (1 blank), 121, (3) pp. With 5 maps, the facsimile text of the title-page and colophon of Varthema's original 1510 book, 1 plate, and a small blue illustration (similar to the blind-tooled image on the front board) on the title-page. Text set in Monotype Baskerville. Half white and half blue cloth with gold lettering on spine and a blind-tooled image (probably of Varthema) on the front board. Ludovico di Varthema (ca. 1468-1517) was one of the first Europeans to visit the cities of Mecca and Medina and to travel as far east as India and the East Indies. He probably came from Bologna or possibly from Rome and might have been a soldier in the Papal forces, but not much is known about his early life. Due to Varthema's writing and later publishing his travel account, much more is known about his later years: in 1802 he sailed from Venice via Cairo in Egypt to Damascus in Syria, where he embarked upon his first remarkable journey. He joined a pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, being one of the first Europeans to enter these holy cities, and then continued south through the Arabian Peninsula to Yemen. From Aden in Yemen he sailed to several cities on the coast of Somalia before sailing along the coast of Oman to Ormuz and subsequently travelling inland across Persia to India. Varthema supposedly travelled across large parts of the East Indies, but since his descriptions of this part of his journey lose some of its accuracy, scholars doubt whether he made the journey himself. Nonetheless, the itinerary shows that the journey that far to the East was not impossible or unheard of at the beginning of the 16th century. - Varthema's Itinerary was first published in Rome in 1510, and numerous editions have been published since. Almost immediately after its first publication the work was translated into Latin (1511), and numerous translations into other languages followed. In 1863 the Hakluyt Society published the principal English translation of the original Italian work, by John Winter Jones. In the present edition, prepared by Norman Mosley Penzer, an extensive analysis of Varthema and his travels by Richard Carnac Temple has been added to Jones's translation. Temple (1850-1931) was an Indian-born British administrator and an anthropological writer. He was a member of several learned societies and institutes, including the Royal Asiatic Society, the Royal Anthropological Institute, and the Hakluyt Society. Penzer (1892-1960) was a British scholar specialising in Oriental studies and a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. - Binding slightly soiled, edges foxed and untrimmed.
