This is bound with Eothen or Traces of Travel brought Home from the East by ALexander William Kinglake. This also has a Critical and Biographical Introduction by Jacques W. Redway 228 pages. From Wikipedia: "Jehan de Mandeville" translated as "Sir John Mandeville" is the name claimed by the compiler of The Travels of Sir John Mandeville a book account of his supposed travels which probably first appeared in Anglo-Norman French and first circulated between 1357 and 1371. By aid of translations into many other languages it acquired extraordinary popularity. Despite the extremely unreliable and often fantastical nature of the travels it describes it was used as a work of reference Christopher Columbus for example was heavily influenced by both this work and Marco Polo's earlier Il Milione. Also from Wikipedia: "Alexander William Kinglake 5 August 1809 2 January 1891 was an English travel writer and historian. He was born near Taunton Somerset and educated at Eton College and Trinity College Cambridge. 1 He was called to the Bar in 1837 and built up a thriving legal practice which in 1856 he abandoned in order to devote himself to literature and public life. His first literary venture had been Eothen; or Traces of travel brought home from the East London: J. Ollivier 1844 a very popular work of Eastern travel apparently first published anonymously in which he described a journey he made about ten years earlier in Syria Palestine and Egypt together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. Elliot Warburton said it evoked "the East itself in vital actual reality" and it was instantly successful. However his magnum opus was his Invasion of the Crimea in 8 volumes published from 1863 to 1887 by Blackwood Edinburgh one of the most effective works of its class. It has been accused of being too favourable to Lord Raglan and unduly hostile to Napoleon III for whom the author had an extreme aversion. The town of Kinglake in Victoria Australia and the adjacent national park are named after him. A Whig Kinglake was elected at the 1857 general election as one of the two Members of Parliament MP for Bridgwater having unsuccessfully contested the seat in 1852. He was returned at next two general elections but the result of the 1868 general election in Bridgwater was voided on petition on 26 February 1869. No by-election was held and after a Royal Commission found that there had extensive corruption the town was disenfranchised in 1870." D. Appleton and Company hardcover

1728Best.-Nr. 002792London: Tonson 1728. Un volume 205 cm di 7-477 pagine; è presente sia la numerazione araba che la segnatura A-Z8 Aa-Gg8 Hh7. Legatura coeva in piena pelle con decorazioni impresse. Difetti alla legatura cerniera anteriore fenduta usure agli angoli dei piatti piccole mancanze alle cuffie e qualche usura ala dorso.

La prima edizione è del 1714 cui seguirono alcune ristampe. Nel 1723 apparve la 'seconda edizione' allargata. Altre aggiunte si ritrovano cinque anni dopo nella quinta edizione: nello stesso anno ne venne pubblicata un'edizione in due volumi. "Mandeville's central theme is that public benefits are the product of private vices and not of private virtues" New Palgrave. Una delle opere-chiave di tutta la storia del pensiero economico. Tonson

FIRST EDITION WITH HALLIWELL'S INTRODUCTION AND ADDITIONS AND A BEAUTIFULLY PRESERVED COPY. 'In his preface the compiler calls himself a knight and states that he was born and bred in England of the town of St Albans. Although the book is real it is widely believed that 'Sir John Mandeville' himself was not. Common theories point to a Frenchman by the name of Jehan a la Barbe or other possibilities discussed below. The most recent scholarly work suggests that The Travels of Sir John Mandeville was “the work of Jan de Langhe a Fleming who wrote in Latin under the name Johannes Longus and in French as Jean le Long." Jan de Langhe was born in Ypres early in the 1300s and by 1334 had become a Benedictine monk at the abbey of Saint-Bertin in Saint-Omer which was about 20 miles from Calais. After studying law at the University of Paris de Langhe returned to the abbey and was elected abbot in 1365. He was a prolific writer and avid collector of travelogues right up to his death in 1383. John de Mandeville crossed the sea on 1322; had traversed by way of Turkey Asia Minor Armenia the Little Cilicia and the Great Tartary Persia Syria Arabia Egypt upper and lower Libya great part of Ethiopia Chaldea Amazonia India the Less the Greater and the Middle and many countries about India; had often been to Jerusalem and had written in Romance as more generally understood than Latin. In the body of the work we hear that he had been at Paris and Constantinople; had served the Sultan of Egypt for a long time in his wars against the Bedouin and had been offered and declined a princely marriage and a great estate on condition of renouncing Christianity and had left Egypt under Sultan Melech Madabron al-Muzaffar Sayf-ad-Din Hajji I who reigned in 1346-1347; had been at Mount Sinai and had visited the Holy Land with letters under the great seal of the sultan which gave him extraordinary facilities; had been in Russia Livonia Kraków Lithuania "en roialme daresten" Dristra or Silistra in Bulgaria and many other parts near Tartary but not in Tartary itself; had drunk of the Well of Youth at Polombe Quilon on the Malabar coast and still seemed to feel the better for it; had taken astronomical observations on the way to Lamory Sumatra as well as in Brabant Germany Bohemia and still farther north; had been at an isle called Pathen in the Indian Ocean; had been at Cansay Hangchow-fu in China and had served the emperor of China for fifteen months.had been through a haunted valley which he places near "Milstorak" i.e. Malasgird in Armenia; had been driven home against his will in 1357 by arthritic gout; and had written his book as a consolation for his "wretched rest".'
