About this Item

Half title, vii + 296 pages, 21 x 13.5 cm, quarter flecked calf over marbled boards, vellum tips, spine gilt decorated (worn), two small spots of loss to the paper on the front and back board, light spotting, but in very good original condition, with the signature of Philippe de Diesbach on the half title. Interesting association copy, with the inscription of Philippe de Diesbach, officier de la Garde Royale for the ill-fated Charles X, last of the Bourbon rulers of France. Rare on the market, and a notable 19th century account of Blondel's travels to Syria and the Holy Land. Contemporary scholars applauded Blondel for his contribution to the knowledge of the ancient region. He was one of the most important French travellers of his day, who visited the region at a strategic time for France's relations. Lebanon is covered in detail, as well as Damascus, Balbeck, Jerusalem and Aleppo. This item is held off-site. Please note there may be a few days delay while it is brought into our shop for viewing or mailing to you. Thank you for your understanding.

Shipping Terms

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
