[Russia - SCHLESSING (Goerg-Adam). The Ancient and Modern Religion of the Muscovites. Enrichie de Figures. Amsterdam, J. Louis de Lorme, 1698. In-12 of [1] f.-154 pp. Speckled brown basane, smooth ornate spine, red mar. title and date, triple fillet framing the boards (19th c. binding). Covers and spines slightly rubbed. Very rare edition, with the same date as the original by Pierre Marteau in Cologne. It is illustrated with a frontispiece and 6 plates, one of which is folding (cut and very slight red stains at the fold, but not missing) by Picart. Very rare work describing the Christianization of Kievan Russia, the dogmas of the Russian Orthodox Church and its religious customs and ceremonies, the veneration of saints by Western Russians, etc. The German historian Georg Adam Schleissing (or Schleusing), who visited Russia in 1684-1686, first published this text in German in 1694 ("Die auffgehende Sonne der christlichen Religion"), which met with immediate success and was followed by several translations. The first French translation saw the light of day shortly after Peter the Great's Great Embassy of 1697-1698, and the renewed interest aroused in Europe by a Russian Empire then in the throes of change. (Barbier IV, 239.)
