‎"LASSELS, RICHARD.‎

‎Voyage D'Italie, contenant les Moeurs des peuples, la description des Villes Capitales, des Eglises, Convents, Tombeaux, Bibliotheques (...). 2 vols. - [THE MOST INFLUENTIAL GUIDEBOOK OF ITS DAY - COINING ""GRAND TOUR""]‎

‎The exceedingly rare first French translation of Lassels‘ travel-guide, considered the first comprehensive guide to Italy it quickly became the most influential English guidebook of its day. The concept of the “Grand Tour” was also first introduced here. Lassels’ asserts that any truly serious student of architecture, antiquity, and the arts must travel through France and Italy, and suggested that all ""young lords"" make what he referred to as the Grand Tour in order to understand and learn about the political, social and economic realities of the world. “The idea of tourism as self-enriching rather than soul-preserving come truly into vogue between 16th and 18th centuries. The Grand Tour, a term first used in the French translation of a ‘Voyage or a Compleat Journey through Italy’ by Richard Lassels published in 1670, encompassed experience (including sexual), education and exchange of ideas, creating the largest and most independent wandering “academy” – a sort of finishing school – that Western civilization had ever known”. (White, Museum and Heritage Tourism). “The term ‘Grand Tour’ itself first appeared in the French translation of Richard Lassels’ Voyage or a Complete Journey Through Italy, which was published in 1670. This was one of a number of accounts of travel on the Continent, most of which were written by Englishmen, and by the early eighteenth century, there was a steady stream of such publications. The eighteenth century then saw a massive growth in the production of books, newspapers, and other printed material, and this encouraged the development of different types of writing and publishing, including travel accounts. There also emerged travel guides, the most useful of which was probably The Grand Tour containing an Exact Description of most of the Cities, Towns and Remarkable Places of Europe by Mr [Thomas] Nugent, first published in four volumes in 1743, and repeatedly republished. An alternative was The Gentleman’s Pocket Companion for Travelling into Foreign Parts, first published in 1722, which contained a list of useful phrases at the end, but not, perhaps, those which the wellbred young man should employ.” (Kathleen Burk, The Grand Tour of Europe) The most influential English guidebook of the period, conditioning the first impressions of many a tourist to that country. It also provided the basis for subsequent guidebooks . . . The unprecedented attention it paid to art and architecture encouraged the phenomenon of the eighteenth-century style 'grand tour' (a term coined by Lassels) according to which art prevailed over all other subjects, religious or secular"" (ODNB). The original English edition was published in 1670. French translations were published it 1671 and 1682. A German translation titled 'Ausführliche Reise-Beschreibung durch Italien' appeared in Frankfurt editions in 1673 and 1696. It was reprinted well into the 1700ies. Provenance: A large Danish estate.‎

His reports of these expeditions were published as Ölandska och gothländska resa (1745), Västgöta resa (1747), and Skånska resa (1751), all written in Swedish. Nothing escaped his attention on his travels on horseback—plants and insects, runic stones and other ancient remnants, farmers working in the fields and meadows, the changes in the weather. His prose style was simple and strong, sometimes rising to lyrical outbursts or spiced with effective similes.” (DSB)""Baron C. Hårleman, who had borne the expenses of Linnaeus's expedition to Skåne, had the chance to see the proofs to at least the beginning of the SKÅNSKA RESA. There he read (on p. 26) with indignation that Linnaeus gave his blessing to the old Swedish custom of cleaning the ground by setting fire to the stubble (""svedjande"" - a practice that he himself had condemned in print). Linnaeus decided to have a new version printed in which the offended passage would be replaced by some innocuos observation on manure (""Gödselen""). A fold was therefore printed as part of the final sheet of the book with an article on ""Gödselen"" instead of the article on ""Svedjor"". The binder was supposed to cancel the fold with the article on ""Svedjor"" and replace it with the inner fold from the final sheet. In very few copies this was not done.""

‎"MALLET, ALAIN MANESSON.‎

‎Beschreibung des gantzen Welt-Kreises. Vierter Theil: Welcher in sich enthalt Das Alte und Neue Europa. (Vol. 4 out of a total of 5).‎

‎Franckfurt am Mayn, Zunner, 1685. 4to. In contemporary half calf. Traces from old paper-label to spine. Binding with considerable wear. Back board broken but still attached. Inner hinges split. Frontispiece partly detached. Previous owner's name in contemporary hand to spine. With a few occassional brownspots and tears in margin, but internally generally nice and clean. (8), 210, (14) pp. + 128 engraved plates and 1 frontispiece. (plates are numbered consecutively from 1 - 130. Plate no. 90 and 92 are missing, but collation corresponds to the digitalized copy in Regensburg, Staatliche Bibliothek, OCLC Accession No: 930342403 and the Otto Leopold Schmidt-copy, sold at Bonham in 2020).‎

‎First German translation (vol. 4 only) of Mallet’s lavishly illustrated ambitious guide to Europe, offering geographical and cultural knowledge to a broader audience in part because of the numerous and detailed engravings. Mallet's maps and illustrations are not only geographically informative but also a fine example of the baroque style of the period. It has been suggested that his background as a teacher led to him being concerned with entertaining his readers. This concern manifested itself in these charming illustrations which include maps, cityscapes, and depictions of various cultural practices and costumes. The first edition appeared in Paris in 1683 as ""Description de l'univers,"" and soon after the hundreds of copper plates for the illustrations were transferred to Jan David Zunner in Frankfurt, who published the first edition of the German translation in 1684, with German text engraved in the plates. He then published the second French edition in 1685, with the German text still in the plates. Alain Manesson Mallet (1630–1706) was a French cartographer and engineer primarily known for his significant contributions to cartography, particularly through the present work. He began his career as a soldier in the army of Louis XIV, eventually rising to the rank of Sergeant-Major in the artillery and serving as an Inspector of Fortifications. Mallet also served under the King of Portugal before returning to France where he was appointed to the court of Louis XIV. His expertise in military engineering and mathematics earned him a position teaching mathematics at the royal court.
