Rara edizione italiana di questa traduzione tratta dai Viaggi di Moscovia di Adam Olschlager stampata nel 1646 e edizione originale della Relatione del Barberini, scritta nel 1565 e mai pubblicata. Olearius venne inviato nel 1633 da Federico III Duca di Hoeltein in Russia e in persia, al fine di stringere rapporti commerciali con questi paesi e contiene la descrizione dei paesi attraversati durante il viaggio, descrive la Livonia, Riga, Vvolmar, Dorp, Narva, Caporio, Notemburg, Novogordia ecc. Ampia descrizione di usi e costumi russi, delle udienze pubbliche con le quali furono ricevuti, i ricevimenti degli ambasciatori turchi e tartari ecc. La relazione del Barberini, poi, si presenta sotto forma di lettera al Conte di Nubarola il quale narra della Russia e dei paesi attraversati durante il viaggio. Importante testimonianza del rinato interesse per la Russia di questo periodo ribadito nell'Avvertimento al lettore, nel quale si danno delucidazioni sul paese e note relative all'etimologia di alcune parole. La relazione del Barberini risale al viaggio fatto da questi nel 1564 al fine di vendere allo Zar Ivan il terribile, il brevetto per l'estrazione del sale.

1700In-4°; pp. (12). 226. (2) Frontespizio allegorico e ritratto di Maria Casimira Sobieski incisi su rame da Hubert Vincent; nel testo stemma Barberini inciso su legno; alcuni quaderni solo leggermente bruniti, per il resto buon esemplare. Unica edizione di questo diario del viaggio che per nove mesi tra il 1698 e il 99 portò a Roma la regina di Polonia Maria Casimira, all’udienza con Innocenzo XII. Il cardinal Barberini, suo protettore a Roma, commissionò questo testo a Antonio Bassani, canonico di Padova, e lo stampò nella sua stamperia privata. Il viaggio della vedova di Giovanni Sobieski fu un vero e proprio pellegrinaggio reale ma anche il suo trasferimento a Roma. Di particolare interesse risultano le descrizioni dei banchetti, delle feste (a Venezia come a Bologna), della tappa alla Santa casa di Loreto, e in generale delle cerimonie e degli omaggi organizzati nelle varie città per l’ingresso della regina.
