Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an intriguing account of a Jesuit missionary's experiences in Siberia and Mongolie during the 17th century. The author provides a detailed description of the landscape, people, and customs of these remote regions, offering a valuable glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to Europeans at the time. The book also delves into the complex religious and political dynamics of the region, as the author navigates the challenges of spreading Christianity among the indigenous population while facing opposition from both local rulers and rival missionaries. Through the author's vivid prose, readers will gain a deep understanding of the challenges and rewards of missionary work in a distant and unfamiliar land. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

"In unserem Oesterreich treffe ich keinen älteren Scribenten an, welche zuerst die Thaten unserer Fürsten und die Geschichte des Landes verzeichnen [.]" (Khautz, Österr.

Jh. lebenden Wiener Chronisten Jans Enenkel (Eni[n]kel, Enni[n]chel oder En[n]enchel). "In unserem Oesterreich treffe ich keinen älteren Scribenten an, welche zuerst die Thaten unserer Fürsten und die Geschichte des Landes verzeichnen [.]" (Khautz, Österr. Gelehrte 3ff.).

Title in red and black; lettrines and woodcut ornaments; pagination jumps from page 63 to 74 (text complete); final leaf colophon with woodcut vignette, dated 1607. Text in German. Later marbled calf (lightly rubbed at edges); gilt spine with raised bands; edges stained red.

Lacks three folding plates: bird's-eye view of Damascus; inhabitants of Damascus; worshippers at a shrine. Additionally lacks right half of the map of Ethiopia, beyond the fold. A good, though imperfect copy, with eight complete folding maps, and ten folding plates, signed by Henning Grosse, the younger. Rare German edition of Ludovico de Varthema's Itinerario, the sensationally popular and highly influential travel account of his seven-year of journey through Arabia, Syria, Ethiopia, Persia, India, and the East Indies. "Unlike most of the commentators of the sixteenth century, Varthema went to the East over the land routes of the Levant, learned colloquial Arabic, and acknowledged Islam. He apparently left Venice for Egypt and Syria around 1502, arrived at Cambay in India around October 10, 1504, and then journeyed inland and southward to Vijayanagar, and finally wound up in Calicut [Kozhikode] at the beginning of 1505. He then proceeded southward, rounded Cape Comorin [Kanyakumari] by sea and perhaps then traveled northward along the eastern coast of India." (Lach). Like his fellow Italians and the Portuguese, Varthema eagerly sought information about the Eastern trade in the wake of the Turkish victory at Constantinople. "Most of what Europe in general learned about the East during the first half of the sixteenth century," as Lach notes, "related to the spice trade." Before reaching the Spiceries, however, Varthema passed through the Arabian peninsula. After his arrival in Damascus in April 1503 he joined the Mameluke garrison and then journeyed to Khaybar, Medina, and Mecca. The first European to visit Islam's two holiest cities, Vartherma offers a detailed description of the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. It appears that Varthema had at least some knowledge of Muslim prayers and rites. "His description of the hajj was judged correct by Richard Francis Burton, which suggests that Varthema actually participated in it. The description of the interior of Yemen, which he was probably the first European to visit, is confirmed by that made more than two centuries later by Carsten Niebuhr's Beschreibung von Arabien (Copenhagen, 1772). Therefore Varthema's reliability in the parts of the Itinerario that concern the Arabian Peninsula is not contested" (DBI). His general description of the Hejaz, the western coast of Arabia on the Red Sea, which includes Mecca and Medina, is highly valued as an important source which predates the Ottoman occupation of this region. Varthema also provides the first eye-witness account by a western traveller of the Arabian Gulf region. Our 1608 edition contains complete maps of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf, each of which identifies Qatar as "Catura." Continuing south, Varthema visited Cambay in 1504. This city on the northwest coast of India receives an especially detailed description in the Itinerario. Vijayanagar, the chief city of a late medieval Hindu empire and the economic and cultural center of south India in the early sixteenth century, is described by Varthema as "a second paradise." Pulicat is noted as an entrepôt in the trade with Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Like most travel accounts of the early sixteenth century, the Itinerario describes Kozhikode and the Malabar Coast more than any other part of the East. Writers have, however, long disputed about Varthema's travels east of Kanyakumari, as his descriptions of these regions are generally more vague and inaccurate. According to the Itinerario Varthema touched at several places on the east coast of India and visited Tenasserim (Mergui), Pegu, Malacca, Sumatra, the Moluccas, and Java. He describes pearl fishing in the Coromandel Coast, the jewels of Sri Lanka, along with the sweet oranges of that island ("the best in the world"), the custom of writing "on paper like ours" in Tenasserim. "Varthema may have touched upon Banda, Buru in the Amboina group, and Ternate in the Moluccas in 1505. Irrespective of whether or not he was actually on the islands, Varthema's description of the these three groups in the Spiceries was the first to be circulated in Europe. He correctly reports that the nutmeg tree grows in Banda and locates clove production in "Monoch" (the Moluccas). Roughly accurate are his descriptions of the clove tree and the way in which the cloves are harvested" (Lach). Varthema provides important details about the pepper plant, the coco palm, cinnamon and ginger root, along with a discussion of three kinds of aloes wood. Varthema probably arrived back in Kozhikode on August 27, 1505, where he deserted his Muslim companions and took employment with the Portuguese at Cochin. For his work in India he was knighted by the Portuguese and returned to Lisbon in 1508. Arriving in Rome later that year he made preparations to publish the account of his travels. Likely born in Bologna, very little is known of the early life of Ludovico de Varthema. "Various clues suggest that in 1500, at the time of starting his journey, Varthema was quite young, but already a grown man. In particular, his vast experience of military matters (pehaps in service to Federico di Montefeltro, the Duke of Urbino) suggest this" (DBI). The first edition of his Itinerario was published in Italian at R.…

8vo. (16), 151 (but: 149), (1) pp., final blank leaf. Contemporary vellum with armorial supralibros (Imperial arms as king of Bohemia and Hungary, Order of the Golden Fleece) on both covers (oxidized). Remains of ties. All edges gilt. First German edition, published in the same year as the Latin one: an index of all days of the year, arranged in the manner of a calendar of saints, designating for each the birthdays, days of death, or other memorial days of the Habsburgs. This is one of Megiser's several experiments revolving around Habsburgian genealogy. "Die Arbeiten eines Laz und Cuspinian darüber waren ihm bekannt; seine Darstellungen im Diarium Austriacum (1614) [.] lehnen sich an den vorsichtigeren Guillimannus und den Niederländer Pontus Henterus (+ 1602) an" (Doblinger, S. 455). - Dedicated to the wife of Emperor Matthias, the Empress Anna of Austria-Tyrol (1585-1618), founder of Vienna's Capuchin monastery and of the Capuchin Crypt. The Swabian-born polymath Megiser (1554-1619) was appointed official historian in Linz by Archduke Charles in 1612; in 1615 he was made historiographer of the Upper Austrian estates. - Covers a little warped; interior shows a slight waterstain throughout the upper margin. Pretty vellum binding with the Imperial arms to both covers. - Title-page has erased contemporary ownership of the old Capuchin monastery in Vienna's St Ulrich quarter (founded in 1600 and closed in 1811) with their handwritten spine label in red and black ink. Acquired at auction from an Austrian private collection. Rare. - VD 17, 23:276157B. ADB XXI, 184.
