THEVENOT (Jean de). Travels in Europe, Asia & Africa. Amsterdam, Michel Charles Le Cene, 1727. 5 volumes in-12, tan calf, ornate ribbed spines, red morocco title-pieces, red edges (period binding). Illustrated with 2 engraved frontispieces, a portrait of the author in Ottoman dress, 48 engraved plates including 11 fold-outs, and a fold-out plate with the Malabar alphabet. Determined to travel the world, Thévenot left France in 1652 for England, the Netherlands, Germany and Italy. In 1655, he was in Rome, from where he left for Malta and Constantinople. He then travelled to the Greek islands, and Egypt, where he stayed for almost a year. He returned to Palestine, and after being attacked by privateers, returned to France in 1659. In 1663, he returned to Alexandria, Palestine and Persia. From there he went on to India, and died in Armenia on the way back. The first two volumes contain the account of his voyage to the Levant, which he published on his return to France. Volumes 3 to 5 contain the account of his second voyage to the Levant and that of his voyage to the East Indies, published from his notebooks, probably by Pétis de La Croix père. A fine copy.
