The pages are all there, but here the order is two leaves, 316pp, eleven leaves, 232pp., five leaves. The book has been rebacked in modern times, and given the title "Mandelslo's Voyages" - so perhaps the owner was more interested in the Mandelslo content! Has 3 of the 6 maps. Present are the Baltic map showing present day Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia; the map of Persia showing the wider Middle East / Southwest Asia; and the map of the Persian province of Kilan on the Caspian. The frontispiece, the two portraits, and the in-text Cyrillic chart are also present. Absent are the map of the East Indies; the map of Muscovy; and the map of the Volga. Boards worn and chipped. Pages have yellowing, foxing, stains, smudges, creases, small tears; there is a small ink margin stain affecting a number of pages in the first volume; there is some top-corner dampstain, occasional and marginal in the first volume, growing more pronounced towards the end of the second volume and intruding somewhat from the margin on a number of leaves. There are several tears reaching into the text without loss, one involving a flap; there is a rust hole obliterating several letters on either side; one leaf is torn halfway up at the hinge. Two facing pages have a long note in the margin in an old hand; an old ownership marking to the reverse of the frontispiece has been scribbled over; the Mandelslo title page has a small modern marking in pen. The Middle East map has a slight hole worn at the center of one of the folds. Good condition.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -John Albert de Mandelslo (1616-44) was a German adventurer.
