Show morevan de Heer Ludowyck di Barthema van Bononien, Ridder &c. : gedaen in de Morgenlanden, Syrien, Arabien, Perssen, Indien, Egypten, Ethiopien en andere. Uyt het italiaens in hoogh-duyts vertaelt door Hier. Megiserium en uyt den selven - in't Neder-duyts gebracht door F.S. Rare second Dutch translation of this highly important and adventurous narrative containing the first recorded visit of a non-Muslim to Mecca. This edition includes for the first time several full-page engravings - one depicting a 15th-century battle against camel-riding Arabs. - Ludovico di Varthema or Barthema (ca. 1468-1517) sailed from Venice to Egypt in 1502 and travelled through Alexandria, Beirut, Tripoli, and Aleppo, arriving in Damascus in April 1503. Here he enrolled in the Mameluke garrison and proceeded overland to Khaybar, Medina and Mekka, thereby becoming the first European to enter the two holiest cities of Islam. His travels furthermore took him to South Arabia, Shiraz (Persia), India, Goa, Cochin, and supposedly the Malay isthmus, Sumatra, Banda, the Moluccas, the Spice Islands, Borneo, Java and Malacca. He finally returned to Lisbon in 1508. - "Varthema's Itinerario, first published in 1510, had an enormous impact at the time, and in some respects determined the course of European expansion towards the Orient" (Howgego). His account, moreover, contains a detailed description of Mecca and the Islamic pilgrimage, and four evocative plates (including an illustration of a Sati ritual). - Contrary to the statement on the title-page, this is de second Dutch translation; an earlier and rather elusive rendering had already been published at Antwerp in 1544 (recorded in just one institutional copy worldwide!). The present translation was made by Felix van Sambix de Jonge after Megiser's German translation of the Italian.

Dutch translation of an important and famous account of the Danish royal expedition to the Middle East, Egypt, Persia and India (1761-67), the first scientific expedition to this area. The original German edition was published two years earlier, in Copenhagen. Niebuhr's account is here bound with the Dutch translation of Michaëlis's work, containing a review of the first. "The expedition had been proposed by the Hebrew scholar Johann David Michäelis of Göttingen for the purpose of illustrating certain passages of the Old Testament, and initially envisaged only a single traveller, possible an Arabic scholar. However, the idea rapidly blossomed into a fully-fledged scientfiic expedition. The team eventually assembled, for which there was no appointed leader, included Niebuhr as surveyor, along with Friedrich Christian von Haven, Peter Forskall, Christian Carl Kramer, Georg Bauernfeind, and a Swedish ex-soldier named Berggren" (Howgego). - Carsten Niebuhr (1733-1815) was the sole survivor, and his work represents an important contribution to the study of the Middle East. His map of Yemen, the first exact map of the area ever, remained the standard for the next 200 years. The plates include views of the mosques of Mecca and Medina, and 6 maps including the map of Yemen and of the Gulf of Suez. Furthermore it contains Arabic specimens from the Qur'an, with vowel points and decorations hand coloured. Niebuhr's "accounts are probably the best and most authentic of their day" (Cox). - In fine condition; only minor foxing in a couple of plates. Wholly untrimmed, with all deckles intact. Binding rubbed and with some abrasions, but structurally sound. Important contribution to the study of the Middle East.

Collection of treatises on hunting in the Netherlands in the 19th century. A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst was forester in the Dutch province of South Holland, and is especially known for his Traité de Fauconnerie , for which he cooperated with the ornithologist H. Schlegel. In the present treatise, Verster van Wulverhorst gives a short survey of the history of hunting before dealing extensively with the hunting regulations in the Netherlands. The full-page engraved plate shows two bisons, the folding lithographed plates depict a hunting scene from the Bayeux tapestry and European and Arabian falcon hunters from the Middle Ages. Ludolf Sloet van de Beele (1806-1890) describes the history of hunting and discusses animals that live(d) in the Netherlands. He was later appointed to the post of Governor-General of Indonesia (NNBW V, cols 751-753). The volume continues with an article by the eminent ornithologist, Herman Schlegel (1804-1884; NNBW IV, cols. 1232-1233), who was Director of the Leiden Museum for Natural History. In "Over de Inlandsche Dag-Roofvogelen" Schlegel gives an accurate description of Dutch birds of prey that hunt by day. He distinguishes eight types, the falcon, hawk, harrier, seaeagle , fish-eagle, kite, buzzard and honey-buzzard, which he lists on the folding table together with their subtypes. The accompanying lithographed plate shows a selection of eight birds. The volume continues with an anonymous article, "De Valkenjacht," (falcon hunting) and a section from Mededeelingen uit het Gebied van Natuur, Wetenschap en Kunst (ed. A. Cohen) from 1844, on large animals that used to live in the Netherlands but have become extinct, and other notes on zoological matters. Minor tears in the folding plates to Schlegel's article, some loose leaves in the final section, hand-written ownership entry first endleaf.
