[4], 484, [4] pp.First volume (of three as numbered, but intended for binding as two) of Thévenot's travels in the Levant in the years 1655 to 1659, including Constantinople, the Holy Land and Egypt, and his further travels to Arabia, Mecca and elsewhere. In the Dutch editions volume 1 is more extensive than volumes 2 and 3, and in the 1723/24 and 1731 editions (both called the second edition on the title-pages) volume 3 has only a divisional title-page, so it was clearly the intention to bind volumes 2 and 3 together, making two volumes of about equal length. The present copy is volume 1 of this 1731 edition.With an 18th-century(?) bookseller's note on an endleaf. With marginal chips in the engraved title-page, a few leaves somewhat browned, but in good condition and with large margins. The binding is worn. A detailed account of travels in the Levant, beautifully illustrated from the plates made for it by Jan Luyken in 1681.l V. Eeghen & V.d. Keller 47 note; Klaversma & Hannema 1416; Landwehr 258 note; Tiele, Bibl. 1090 note.

Edition originale
First edition of the first French book on swimming and one of the earliest books on the subject in an era when most Europeans, even sailors, could not swim. The book was widely read during the 18th century, including by Benjamin Franklin, an avid swimmer in his youth. The book is illustrated with 35 engraved plates by Charles Moette of people swimming. Thévenot describes a breaststroke executed with the face out of the water and an underwater arm recovery (the stage of a stroke when the limbs relax and return to the starting position). After the English translation of Thevenot's work became the standard swimming reference, the breaststroke remained the most common stroke used by swimmers for centuries. In his preface, Thévenot rightly claims his book to be the first on the subject in French, the only preceding works known to him in any language being Nicolas Wynman's Colymbetes (1538) and Sir Everard Digby's short Latin tract De arte natandi (1589, translated into English in 1595). Thévenot, who was a scientist, traveller, cartographer, orientalist, inventor, and diplomat, is often confused with his nephew, the traveller Jean de Thévenot. Duodecimo (149 x 82 mm). Attractive 18th-century French mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments with flower tools, sides with triple gilt rules, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. With 35 engraved plates. Engraved bookplate of Jean-François Gillet, écuyer (squire), 1778; small modern MK bookplate. A little rubbing to extremities, title leaf lightly spotted, else an excellent copy of this charming book.

Thevenot's monumental collection of voyages and exploration: a continuation of Haklyut and Purchas, and with the addition of accounts of exploration in the southern oceans, the East Indies, China and Arabia. His compilation was issued in five parts over more than thirty years: part I in 1663, part II in 1664, part III in 1666, part IV during 1672-1674, and part V in 1696. During the course of publication, the parts of the collection already printed were reissued with new title-pages in 1664, 1666, 1672 [as here], 1683, and 1696. Some sheets were reprinted for these reissues, and any two examples, issued before 1683, are rarely the same, with some "inserts" being more scarce than others. The current example is as originally issued, and seems to be composed of sheets for the 1666 re-issue, with new title-pages to parts I, II, and IV. It has been bound without some maps and inserts found in other examples, but is with others not so commonly found (see 'Collation'). Of all the truly legendary voyages undertaken in perilously small open boats, Pelsaert's voyage from the Abrolhos to Bavatia in June and July of 1629 is an extraordinary feat of endurance in extremis. The current set includes the very rare 'La Terre Avstrale decovverte par le Capitaine Pelsart, qui y fait naufrage': just seven pages that recount the tragedy of shipwreck, the bloody savagery of mutiny, Pelsaert's extraordinary journey, and the viscious aftermath of just retribution. The account is illustrated with the large folding map 'Terre Avstrale decouverte l'an 1644', after Tasman, here in its third state, with the Tropic of Capricorn and rhumb lines, 1672. Other important maps include: the second printing of an important untitled map of the East Indies, after Teixeira's chart which had been prepared in the 1640s for Portuguese cartographers. Drawn in the same style as a portolan, with no inland details, there are two insets showing the Ganges Delta and Chittagong, Hokkaid is shown as an island north of Japan ("Iezo"); 'Imperii Sinarum Nova Descriptio, a map of China', including Korea, Taiwan and Japan, drawn after the work of Martino Martini as published by the Blaeus, but showing Hokkaid joined to the mainland; and 'Ioao Teixeira Cosmographo de Sua Magestade Afex em Lixboa O Anno de 1649', an important chart of the entire east coast of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Persia, the west coast of India and adjacent Indian Ocean islands, one of the few printed charts taken directly from Portuguese sources, based upon a 1649 portolan chart by João Teixeira, royal cosmographer of Portugal. One of the great driving forces behind 'Divers voyages' was Thévenot's desire to help France achieve her aim to increase colonial trade to compete with other European nations. The book aimed to gather together the most up-to-date practical knowledge on navigation and information on foreign countries. Melchisedech Thévenot (1620-1692) was a French diplomat, scientist, and travel writer. He was a scholar with interests in mathematics, physics, and medicine, acting as the patron of several early scientific societies and most notably contributing to the formation of the Académie des Sciences. His early career included two missions to Italy in the 1640s and 1650s, and it was there that he first develo.

Cont. mottled sheep, richly gilt spine on 6 raised bands, gilt sides, red edges (leather skillfully repaired, slightly brittle at edges and joints). Very good set (paper occasionally toned, some very minor paper flaws or soiling, a few sm. tears in folding plates) The scarce first edition of Melchisedec Thevenot s (1620-693) Accounts of several voyages , with several rare and important maps: the first French map of Australia, Eastern Africa, Southeast Asia and China. Amongst travel collections, Thevenot s occupies a distinguished place, being one of the most complete and lavishly produced; its scope includes Africa, the Far East, South East Asia, America, amongst other places. The relation on Australia is undoubtedly one of the most significant and primary sources of information on the island. The first three volumes deal predominantly with the Middle and the Far East, including China, Japan, the Philippines, Egypt, India/Mogul Empire, Africa, East Indies, Australia etc.; volume IV deals with China, Ethiopia, Egypt, Mexico, and Java. This first large-scale French travel collection, which was widely read during the Enlightenment, reflected a popular interest not so much in France s expanding imperial pretensions, but rather in the collection and comparison of exceptional data concerning foreign lands, a cosmographical precursor to imperialist strivings of later times. Melchisedech Thévenot (1620-1692) was a French diplomat, scientist, and travel writer. He was a scholar with interests in mathematics, physics, and medicine, acting as the patron of several early scientific societies and contributing to the formation of the Académie des Sciences. His early career included two missions to Italy in the 1640s and 1650s, and it was there that he first developed an interest in the study of Oriental languages. In 1663, he published the first part of Relations de Divers Voyages , a work that would secure his reputation as one of the essential travel compilers of the seventeenth century. He would publish a second and third part in 1666, a fourth in 1672, and a final fifth part was being assembled in 1692 when Thévenot died. The collection is also of great American interest; it contains Palafox s study on the natives, Acarette du Biscay s relation of La Plata and Gage s relation, which includes an important passage on Mexico profusely illustrated. The Tasman map is a cornerstone of Australian cartography, both as the earliest obtainable map of the region and the predominant depiction from which the World would know the island for about a century.
