... Durch Johann Christoph Wagner. Second edition. - Second and third part of Wagner's "Delineatio provinciarum Pannoniae et Imperii Turcici", a topographical and historical work devised under the impression of the Turkish retreat from Vienna and Northen Hungary, describing the geography and politics of the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire. Contains views of Cairo, Aden, Damascus, Sissek, Nauplia, Kotor, etc. The third part is compiled from other contemporary works and treats Persia, India, and Indochina (with illustrations and interesting maps). The 12-page appendix ("Fortsetzung der Ungar- und Türckischen Chronik") is bound after the preface. - The first two parts of the work are uncommon, and the third is of great rarity; no complete copy containing of all three parts is recorded at German or international auctions since 1950 (cf. Sotheby's, Nov 13, 2008, lot 125 [all three parts, but incomplete]: 20,000 GBP). - Rather brownstained throughout due to paper; several restored tears. T. p. and several engravings of pt. 2 have remargined edge defects; wants plate 23. Binding somewhat rubbed, but the appealing blind-tooled covers are well preserved.
