Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. [xxiv]+216+[12] pages with frontispiece, folding map and eight engraved costume plates. Duodecimo (6 ¼" x 3 ½") early full calf, later spine label. First edition in English. First published in French the prior year which was published without the plates. François Pidou de Saint Olon was a French diplomat under Louis XIV. In 1682, he was nominated as the first French resident envoy to the Republic of Genoa, following the Bombardment of Genoa. He was then sent as an envoy to Madrid. In 1689 , François Pidou was appointed ambassador to the court of Sultan Moulay Ismail, for the signing of a commercial treaty and to release prisoners, now slaves, of Barbary corsairs of Salé for 233 including 29 bedridden Moroccan prisoners held by the French. His mission was not successful, however, he continued to stay more than three weeks more in Morocco. The book gains particular interest through its author's position as ambassador, giving him access (not always voluntary), to areas of Moroccan society previously unrecorded by travelers. There are detailed descriptions of Moroccan dress, and the book is beautifully illustrated with eight engraved plates of Moroccan men and women in traditional costume. Condition: With the fine copper engraved frontispiece of the overall state of Morocco which is quite rare and is often found missing in most copies. Joints cracking, spine chipped at edges, foxing else very good.

See A. de Marcy's 'Liste des Chevaliers' (1875), which reproduces from the registers the notice of the admission into the order on 16 July 1700 of 'Jacques Giraud de Moucy, cy-devant mousquetaire, commandant des gardes de S. A. R. Madame la duchesse d'Orléans'. On a 37 x 51 cm piece of vellum, folded three times into a 30 x 12.5 cm packet. In good condition, clean and crisp. The main text admitting Giraud into the order is twenty lines long, in a secretarial hand, neatly and closely written on one side of the vellum, dated from Paris on 16 July 1700, and signed at the foot 'Philippe de Courcillon de Dangeau', with four small holes on blank portion to the right of the signature caused by the removal of de Dangeau's seal. At top left: 'Lettres de Reception &c chevalier dans l'ordre de Ne Dame de Mont Carmel et de St. Lazare de Jerusalem pour Mr. Giraud'. The document has been folded upwards at the foot, with the outside of the strip carrying six lines of text also dated 16 July 1700, signed twice by 'Pidou | [Rest.?] Olon', beginning: 'Aujourdhuy 16e. Juillet 1700 Monseigneur Le Grand Maitre est [ani?] a Paris dans l'Eglise de l'abbaye de St. Geomain des prezs'. The first four and a half lines list the Marquis's titles, ending with his position as 'Grand Maistre general tant au Spirituel qu'au temporal' of the order. Giraud is described as 'Jacques Giraud Eser. Mousaquetaire du Roy dans la 4e. Compe.'.

Legatura coeva in tutta pelle, fregi titoli dorati sul dorso a cinque nervi, sguardie marmorizzate (tracce di ex libris rimosso sull'anteriore) e tagli marezzati, in dodicesimo cm 16x10, pp (16) 227 (5), frontespizio parzialmente rubricato, antiporta e 9 tavole incise di cui una ripiegata, una carta bianca in apertura e in fine. Piccola gora bruna sull'angolo inferiore destro del margine delle pagine da 127 a fine volume, sempre ben distante dal testo; tracce di distacco di ex libris sulla prima sguardia; ben conservato per il resto. Relazione dell'ambasceria del Cavaliere di S. Olon, inviato da Luigi XIV presso il Sultano alawide Mulay Ismail (1645-1727) per concludere un'alleanza commerciale che avrebbe incluso tra l'altro uno scambio di prigionieri e la reciproca assistenza contro i pirati algerini e ottomani. S. Olon sbarcò a Tétouan ad aprile 1693 ed incontrò il Sultano a Meknès a giugno, ma la ratifica dell'accordo non fu ultimata - addirittura l'ambasciatore fu brevemente imprigionato dalle autorità di Tétouan. La relazione apparve già nel 1694, col titolo di Estat Present de l'Empire de Maroc, e fu ristampata l'anno seguente in questa edizione arricchita dell'apparato inciso da Daniel met de Penningen, nativo di Anversa e attivo ad Amsterdam dal 1685 alla morte nel 1696; il successo dell'opera portò a traduzioni in inglese e olandese entro la fine del secolo XVII. Le tavole incise sono in tutto dieci: l'antiporta raffigurante l'incontro tra S. Olon e il Sultano, la pianta ripiegata della città e fortezza di Larache (riconquistata da Mulay Ismail nel 1689), e alcune immagini di costumi (4 semplici e 4 che presentano 2 figure ritratte sia di fronte sia di spalle). «The author was sent by Louis XIV. to effect an exchange of slaves, and to conclude a treaty of peace and alliance against the Algerines. He disembarked, in the Bay of Tetuan and met the Sultan at Mekenes, but he had to leave the country without effecting his object. He was even imprisoned for some time at Tetuan by the Kaid of that place.» R. Lambert Playfair, A Bibliography of Morocco, n. 308. Boucher de la Richarderie IV, p. 46. Piccola gora bruna sull'angolo inferiore destro del margine delle pagine da 127 a fine volume, sempre ben distante dal testo; tracce di distacco di ex libris sulla prima sguardia; ben conservato per il resto.
