1685In 16, cm 8 x 14,5, pp. 274 + (2). Piena pelle coeva con fregi oro e nervature al dorso, Piccoli restauri al dorso e agli angoli dei piatti. Lievi ossidazioni. Edizione originale italiana che, pur presentandosi come traduzione dal francese, presenta una intera seconda parte non presente nell'edizione francese , pubblicata a Lione nel 1681 dallo stampatore Francois Larchier. Infatti, alla descrizione di gran parte dell'Europa, (che si ferma a p. 107), chiaramente tradotta dalla suddetta edizione, segue una seconda ampia descrizione, sicuramente opera del traduttore, che tratta di gran parte del resto del mondo cambiando anche la struttura dell'opera con l'inserimento dei viaggi strutturati attraverso l'indicazione delle stazioni di posta frammiste alle descrizioni delle citta' attraversate. In sequenza troviamo: Descrizione di Torino, Piemonte e Casa Savoia, dell'Asia, Turchia, Siria, Arabia, Tartaria, Cina, Indie Orientali, Regno del Gran Mogor, Isole Maldive, Africa, suoi porti, America, Brasile, Nuova Spagna, Canada, ecc. Segue poi la serie dei viaggi: Da Parigi e per tutta l'inghilterra, da Lione a Roma, avviso ai cavalieri per andare a Malta, da Roma a Torino, da Torino a Venezia per Vercelli, da Torino a S. Giacomo di Galizia, da Torino alle Indie Orientali e strada che fanno i Galleoni al suo ritorno ecc. Sono poi date le distanze e le poste da Torino a moltissime citta' del mondo, generalita' astronomiche, le principali fiere del mondo ecc. Indicativo il fatto che gran parte delle descrizioni di viaggio partano da Torino il che attesterebbe una origine piemontese dell'autore. Fossati Bellani, n. 47
