A propos de cet article

three volumes. Volume one: unpaginated introductions, forewords, dedications etc, 304 pages, frontispiece, one plate, one woodcut; volume two: 484 pages, 5 plates; volume three: unpaginated, 1 plate, 5 woodcuts, index and list of plates. Original or temporary leather bindings, marbled endpapers, bookplates of William Twopenny, leather cracked on spines but covers attached except front cover of volume two, spine of volume one repaired.

The extent to which Coryat invited such ridicule in pursuit of patronage and court favor is unclear. Among other things, Coryat's book introduced the use of the fork to England and, in its support of continental travel, helped to popularize the idea of the Grand Tour that rose in popularity later in the century. The book also included what is likely the earliest English rendering of the legend of William Tell. The work is particularly important to music historians for giving extraordinary details of the activities of the Venetian School, one of the most famous and progressive contemporary musical movements in Europe. The work includes an elaborate description of the festivities at the church of San Rocco in Venice, with polychoral and instrumental music by Giovanni Gabrieli, Bartolomeo Barbarino, and others.…
