Hardcover. Zustand: As New. 288 pages. This is the first fully annotated old-spelling edition of the entire text of the autograph English journal of Robert Bargrave (1628-61), recording his extens ive travels as a merchant. This manuscript (now Bodleian Library MS Rawlinson C 799), describes four separate journeys made by Bargrave: his sea voyage from Eng land to Constantinople; an arduous return journey overland from Constantinople t o England, via Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Germany, and the Low Countries; extens ive travels, for both commercial and cultural purposes, in Spain, Sicily, Italy and the Morea; and a return journey from Venice to Margate, via Trento, Innsbruc k, and Augsburg, including his visit to Heidelberg where he met the exiled Engli sh royalist community at the court of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia.

About the book >.>.> The Travel Diary of Robert Bargrave Levant Merchant (1647-1656) presents an extensively annotated edition of the complete text of Robert Bargrave's journal, documenting his significant journeys as a merchant from 1647 to 1656. This manuscript is currently housed at the Bodleian Library (MS Rawlinson C 799) and encapsulates four distinct voyages undertaken by Bargrave.The first journey details his sea voyage from England to Constantinople, covering the period from April 1647 to September 1652, during which he visited notable locations such as Gibraltar, Majorca, Siena, and Florence. The second segment recounts his challenging overland return from Constantinople to England between September 1652 and March 1653, traversing countries including Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Germany, and the Low Countries. His third journey, spanning from November 1654 to February 1656, delves into further travels across Europe, culminating in a return to Margate in February-March 1656, which included stops in Trento, Innsbruck, and Augsburg, and a notable visit to Heidelberg where he interacted with the exiled English royalist community at the court of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia.The introduction of this edition sheds light on the Bargrave family's political, religious, and personal connections, particularly the impacts of their overseas travels. It also highlights Robert's encounters with his cousin, John Bargrave, a fellow traveler and notable figure of the time. This edition serves as a valuable resource for understanding the experiences and perspectives of a 17th-century merchant navigating the complexities of travel and trade in an evolving world. (SP).…
