About This Item

Antwerp, Guillaume Silvius, 1576.

Small 4to [200 x 143 mm]: (8) ll., 325 pp. (some mistakes in the pagination), (15) ll., 60 full-page plates of costumes. Bound in full contemporary overlapping vellum, flat spine with the handwritten title. Contemporary binding.

First edition in Italian, translated from the French edition published at the same date and by the same printer.

Atabey 871; Colas 2203 (second issue); Göllner 1663; cf. Mortimer, Harvard Italian, 319 (1580 edition); not in Blackmer.

The woodcuts are reduced copies, by Antonij van Leest, of the engraved plates of the first edition (printed in Paris in 1567). The second Italian edition, printed at Venice in 1580, contains engraved copies of the original plates, together with seven additional plates.

After having described the customs of Algiers, Tripoli, the Barbary States and Scio where he landed when he was going to Constantinople, Nicolay (1517-1583), a traveler from the Dauphiné, insists on what concerns the Turks, the Greeks and the other inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire. His remarks are instructive considering the time when they were published and they even give some curious details. But Nicolay suddenly interrupts his account at the end of the third book; he talks about the inhabitants of Persia and Arabia, countries that he never visited, and he uses in order to fill his text, as well as with regard to the Greeks, the Armenians and the Jews, the ancient and modern authors who wrote about these people and the countries they live in.

"Some bibliographers claimed that the figures of the Travel of Nicolay were engraved after drawings by Titian: the assertion of the author, in his foreword, cast doubt on that. Besides, these figures were very well engraved on wood".

The present edition is illustrated with 60 superb wood engraved plates of costumes.

A nice wide-margined copy preserved in its original overlapping vellum binding.

Provenance: this copy belonged to Philip Yorke, Earl of Hardwicke, editor of Athenian Letters, London, 1798 (engraved ex libris) and to Sefik E. Atabey (engraved ex libris).

Anvers, Guillaume Silvius, 1576.

Petit in-4 de (8) ff., 325 pp. (nombreuses erreurs de pagination), (15) ff., 60 planches de costumes à pleine page. Relié en plein vélin rigide à recouvrement de l'époque, dos lisse avec le titre manuscrit. Reliure de l'époque.

200 x 143 mm.

Première édition en italien, traduite sur l'édition française publiée à la même date par le même imprimeur.

Atabey 871; Colas 2203 (second tirage); Göllner 1663; cf. Mortimer, Harvard Italian, 319 (édition de 1580); pas dans Blackmer.

The woodcuts are reduced copies, by Antonij van Leest, of the engraved plates of the first edition (printed in Paris in 1567). The second Italian edition, printed at Venice in 1580, contains engraved copies of the original plates, together with seven additional plates.

Après avoir décrit les mœurs d'Alger, de Tripoli, de Barbarie et de Scio, où il aborda en allant à Constantinople, Nicolay (1517-1583), voyageur dauphinois, s'arrête plus longtemps à ce qui concerne les Turcs, les Grecs et les autres habitants de l'empire ottoman. Ses remarques sont instructives pour le temps où elles ont paru et offrent même encore des détails curieux. Mais Nicolay interrompt tout à coup sa relation à la fin du troisième livre ; il parle des habitants de la Perse et de l'Arabie, pays qu'il n'a pas visités, et a recours pour remplir son texte, ainsi que ce qui regarde les Grecs, les Arméniens et les Juifs, aux auteurs anciens et modernes qui ont écrit sur ces peuples et sur les pays qu'ils habitent.

" Quelques bibliographes ont prétendu que les figures du Voyage de Nicolay étaient gravées d'après les dessins de Titien : l'assertion de l'auteur, dans sa préface, doit en faire douter. Du reste, ces figures ont été très bien gravées en bois. "

La présente édition est ornée de 60 superbes planches gravées sur bois de costumes.

Bel exemplaire grand de marges car conservé dans sa première reliure en vélin à recouvrement de l'époque.

Provenance : cet exemplaire a appartenu à Philip Yorke, Earl of Hardwicke, éditeur des Athenian Letters, London, 1798 (ex libris gravé) et à Sefik E. Atabey (ex libris gravé).
