Show morePublished within the first complete and reliable edition of della Valle's "Viaggi", the present volume constitutes the first part of the author's Persian travels (March 1617-May 1619), spent in Isfahan and at Ferhabad. Pietro della Valle (1586-1652) left Venice in 1614 on a pilgrimage to Palestine, proceeding to Baghdad and then into Persia, where he married and sojourned in the court of Shah Abbas. He continued his travels east to the coast of India, Goa and Muscat, and thence back to Aleppo by way of Basra. He reached Rome in 1626, where the original Italian text of his letters written to the Neapolitan physician Mario Schipano was published. Only the first volume, dealing with Turkey, saw print during his lifetime. The two-part volume II on Persia was released in 1658, four years after his death; in 1662 the Turkey volume saw a second edition, and the set was concluded in 1663 with the volume discussing India. A one-volume English translation of the Indian travels appeared in 1665. - Binding rubbed; inner hinges rather crudely reinforced. Somewhat brownstained throughout; a few pencil marginalia. From the collection of the Modena-born abbot Giacomo Crispi (1693-1774), a member of Muratori's circle, with his ms. ownership (dated 1737) to t. p. 33609(2). Vittorio Alfieri Firenze 1793.
