Show moreby Kohn Francis Gemelli Careri ; witten originally in Italian, translated into English. A voyage round the World by Dr. John Francis Gemelli Careri in six parts, viz. I. of Turky. II. of Persia. III. of India. IV. of China. V. of the Philippine Islands. VI. of New Spain. Folio [2], 605 pp. double column text, 10 steel engraved plates, one of which torn without loss, some are folding + 4 steel engraved illustrations in text, rebacked retaining original boards with new spine, (lack title-page), full calf, edges rubbed & repaired, A & J Churchill, London,1704. This is vol. 4 of Churchill›s “A Collection of Voyages and Travels”, first published in 1704 in 4 volumes, reissued in 1744, with two more volumes of new travels being added in 1745: the volume is complete in itself. Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri was a seventeenth- century Italian adventurer and traveller. He was among the first Europeans to tour the world by securing passage on ships involved in the carrying trade; his travels, undertaken for pleasure rather than profit, may have inspired “Around the World in Eighty Days”. Some suspected him of spying for the Vatican on his journeys. Gemelli Careri realised that he could finance his trip by carefully purchasing goods at each stage that would have enhanced value at the next stage: at Bandar-Abbas on the Gulf, he asserts, the traveller should pick up «dates, wine, spirits, and all the fruits of Persia, which one carries to India either dried or pickled in vinegar, on which one makes a good profit». Gemelli Careri started his world trip in 1693, with a visit to Egypt, Constantinople, and the Holy Land. After crossing Armenia and Persia, he visited southern India and entered China. From Macau, Gemelli Careri sailed to the Philippines where he stayed two months while waiting for the departure of the Manila galleon.
