CHEVALIER DE BELLERIVE: Relation d' un Voyage du Chevalier de Bellerive d' Espagne a Bender et de son sejour au camp du Roi de Suede. Paris, 1713 First and only edition, in 8vo, contemporary full leather with some minor wear on spine and covers, text clean and bright with two or three isolated spots on a few pages, complete title, 244 p. [2], overall very good. The Chevalier de Bellerive left Spain sailing to Constantinople, where he spent time in the Galata district before continuing to Moldavia, then on the borders of the Ottoman Empire, where the war raged between the Russians and Peter the Great, who had encircled the Swedish forces and their King near the Black Sea on the Turkish border. Finally, the Swedish King entered Ottoman territory to escape and became a kind of prisoner of the Ottomans, kept initially in Bender and later in Didimoticho, today in Greek Thrace, where his old prison can still be seen. Bellerive remained with him during this time and provided a valuable account of his travels in the Balkans and Thrace in the early 18th century. Scarce account of the Levant.
