‎The exceedingly rare first edition of Monk Hyacinth's (i.e. Jakinf's/Iankinth's) important work on the history of Mongolia, which constitutes one of the earliest important travel accounts of the region since the middle ages. The work contains a description of Hyacinth's route up north of Mongolia (then under Manchu rule), a history of Mongolia and the Mongol regimes in China, descriptions of costumes, etc., and a section on regulations concerning the Mongols. As such, this important early work came to play a significant role in all later travel literature about Mongolia and was seen as a work of refenrence and great authority, which was frequently quoted by other writers on the field. ""Little was reported to the West about Mongolia between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries. During this period the Mongol empire rapidly disintegrated... When Christian missionaries began arriving in (Outer) Mongolia, beginning in 1798, they found an impoverished people ruled by a ""living Buddha"", the Bogd Khan... The Catholic missionaries was followed by a wave of Protestant missionaries"" (Speake 2: 803), but most of the accounts of these missionaries are from the late nineteenth century and thus much later than Hyacinth's. ""The archimandrate Hyacinth, late chief of the Russian mission at Peking, from whnce he returned in 1821, with Mr. Timkowski, is about to publish, at St. Petersburg, an ""Account of Mongolia"", in four volumes. The first volume will contain a narrative of his journey through Mongolia, and his return from Peking to Kakhta" the second, a geographical and statistical account of Mongolia the third, a short history of the Mongols" and the fourth, the code of laws by which this nomade people is giverned. This work will contain a map of Mongolia, engravings of costumes, &c.The work was translated into German in 1832 under the title ""Denkwürdigkeiten über die Mongolei"". Both the Russian original and the German translation are of great scarcity. Lust: 186. Not in Greasse, not in Brunet.‎

How does a writer condense fifteen years of a journey to seek the sacred places of Tibet Enter the covers of this fascinating if overly long book release your sense of time absorb the tenants of Buddhism and discover how an obsession controlled the life and vision of one Ian Baker. Much has been written about this physically demanding and spiritually enlightening journey Baker made from 1982 to 1997 but though the facts of the hardships and the challenges of the physical trek through the treacherous mountains of Tibet in search of the mystical waterfall in the Tsangpro gorge may be familiar to some the final rewards of accompanying Baker through the pages of this book are experiences not found through reviews. This is a book that though long must be approached by a fellow traveler willing to endure the disappointments and the frustrations Baker endured in his search for the Last Secret Place. The journey is well worth the investment of time of the reader as it is impossible not to feel the spiritual enlightenment along with Baker as he reaches his goal. This is a book for the patient reader in search of true adventure willing to absorb the mystical qualities of Tibetan Buddhism and desirous of acknowledging the fact that there remain on this very disturbed planet places where we can become as close to the meaning of life as possible. Highly recommended. Penguin Group: Penguin Press, hardcover‎

‎IBN BATTUTA.‎

‎Voyages. I. De l'Afrique du Nord à La Mecque.‎

‎La Découverte, 1999, in-12, 477 pp, introduction et notes de Stéphane Yerasimos, cartes, broché, bon état‎

‎Tome I seul (sur 3). — Ibn Battûta, voyageur maghrébin du début du XIVe siècle est connu comme le "voyageur de l'Islam". Il parcourt la totalité des pays islamiques, du Mali à Sumatra et du Kenya aux steppes russes. Ses trente années de pérégrinations à travers un monde islamique morcelé, déchiré, convergent vers un but unique : prouver que la communauté existe et qu'à travers sa pratique religieuse et sociale, à travers sa solidarité, elle reste indivisible. Cette publication intégrale, en trois volumes, reprend la tradition française de C. Defremery et de B.R. Sanguinetti (1853-1858). Par l'ampleur des introductions à chaque volume, par la richesse des notes et par ses cartes, cette édition vise à mettre ce texte essentiel de l'Islam à la portée d'un large public tout en lui fournissant les éléments nécessaires pour sa compréhension. Dans ce volume : De l'Afrique du Nord à la Mecque, Ibn Battûta visite les "terres centrales" de l'Islam. Parti de Tanger, sa ville natale, pour le pèlerinage de la Mecque, il visite l'Egypte et la Syrie et, le pèlerinage accompli, se rend en Irak et en Perse.‎

‎Visit to Iceland and the Scandinavian North. Translated from the German of Madame Ida Pfeiffer. With explanatory Notes. To which are added an Essay on Icelandic Poetry from the French of M. Bergmann; a Translation of the Icelandic Poem 'The Voluspa'.‎

‎Ingram Cooke 1852. 8vo. First Edition with a tinted lithograph as frontispiece engraved and printed titles and 6 tinted lithographed plates some light spotting mainly marginal as often; original 'National Illustrated Library' series binding of cloth richly blocked in blind pictorial back gilt extra hinges cracked but binding entirely sound backstrip lightly frayed at head and tail else a very good tight copy. With the contemporary binder's ticket of Leighton Son & Hodge who bound many titles in this series and the contemporary trade ticket of Willmer & Smith of Church St. Liverpool. This work was translated into English expressly for inclusion in Cooke's popular series following the success of the same author's 'Woman's Journey round the World' 1852; to maintain uniformity the more expensive tinted plates were once again adopted here. In the event the present work proved even more popular with an audience eager for information from exotic lands and 'Pfeiffer's Iceland' became a travel standard of the nineteenth century.
