JEAN DE THEVENOT: DESS HERRN THEVENOTS REISEN IN EUROPA, ASIA UND AFRICA. FRANKFURT, 1693 First complete edition in German. Large Quarto, full contemporary vellum slightly soiled,upper cover almost detached, text clean and bright, complete with all three parts of the travels present and all fifty (50) beautiful copper engravings,including fine views of the Levant not present in the French original, overall in very good condition. This Frankfurt 1693 edition of Jean de Thévenot's travels is the first complete German translation of his monumental journeys. Published by Philipp Fievet, it brought together for the first time in the German language the full scope of Thévenot's explorations across the Ottoman Empire, Persia, and India. The Fievet edition was crucial for the German Enlightenment (Aufklärung). It provided German scholars with their first reliable, eye-witness account for the Levant. The edition is adorned with fine copper engraved prints (mostly views, many folded) obviously provided from travelers which had visited the places and form an amazing early illustrated corpus for the Levant. Only this German edition of Thevenot travels is illustrated.
