Édition de la même année que l'originale in 4, de la traduction française par Pierre Briot, qui fut considérée comme la plus exacte. Cette histoire de l'état présent de l'Empire ottoman publiée pour la 1re fois en anglais en 1668 fut le premier ouvrage à bien faire connaître les mÏurs des Turcs, ainsi que les ressources et la politique de cet Empire. Il fut traduit dans presque toutes les langues de l'Europe et continua, malgré les nouvelles informations qui furent recueillies par la suite sur la Porte, d'être lu avec intérêt. Il passe même pour l'une des sources pour les "Lettres persanes" de Montesquieu, qui en possédait un exemplaire dans sa bibliothèque.

Contemporary full calf, spine with five raised bands decorated in gilt and with title label. Binding rubbed, hinges cracked, corners and spine ends chipped. Old ownership signatures on title. (Carl Iserhielm (1681-1748), renowned Swedish book collector, and Mr. Rumpf (CM)).First French edition of this famous work of the Ottoman empire is based mainly on Rycaut's personal experiences. It was originally published in English in 1666/67 but most of that edition was destroyed in the Great Fire of London. Sir Paul Rycaut was a British diplomat who served as secretary to the British Ambassador in Constantinople between 1661 and 1667, later being appointed consul in Smyrna (now Izmir). This account describes the Ottoman government and political principals but also contains important information about the Mahometan religion, the naval and land forces of Turkey. The illustrations are mainly costume plates after a book that Ricaut had commissioned from an artist at the bazaar in Constantinople. This narrative became popular, was printed many times and translated into several languages. Cf Atabey 1069. Cf Blackmer 1464. Willems 1872.

Horthemels, Gilles | Middelbourg 1692 | 9.2 x 15.4 cm | Relié Horthemels, Gilles | Middelbourg 1692 | 9.2 x 15.4 cm | Relié | Édition originale de la traduction française (cf Quérard VIII, 14. Manque à Blackmer et à Atabey, qui décrivent la première édition anglaise de 1679.) Reliure en pleine basane fauve racinée, dos lisse orné de filets et fleurons dorés, pièces de titre de basane rouge, restaurations sur les mors et le dos, filet et dentelle en encadrement des plats, gardes et contreplats de papier marbré, tranches marbrées, filets dorés sur les coupes, reliure de la fin du XVIIIe siècle. Resdtaurations en angles des plats, et petites pertes d'or sur les plats, le dos et les coupes ; agréable état intérieur. L'ouvrage, écrit à la demande de Charles II, fut publié pour la première fois en 1679. ""There was a great deal of controversy at this time about the nature of the Eucharist, and the doctrine of the Orthodox Church seemed to be unclear on this point. Both the Anglican and Roman Churches wanted to be able to claim the support of the Greek Church for their respective dogmas. As a result several works on the Greek Church appeared during the latter part of the 17th century (see also Covel and Smith). Rycaut's work on the Greek Church is significant for the knowledge and sympathy it displays. He was almost alone among his contemporaries in understanding the struggles of the Greeks to maintain their religion in the face of the Turkish and Catholic pressures"" [Leonora Navari]. Sir Paul Rycaut, ou Ricaut, ou Ricault [Londres 1628-1700], historien anglais, accompagna avec le titre de secrétaire le comte de Winchelsea envoyé en ambassade auprès de Mahomet IV (1661), et profita de son séjour à Constantinople pour s'instruire des moeurs et de la religion des Turcs. Il rédigea en 1663 les articles du traité de paix conclu entre l'Angleterre et la Porte et eut beaucoup de part au privilège qu'obtinrent les bâtiments anglais d'être exemptés du droit de visite. On lui doit une importante description de l'Empire Ottoman, parue pour la première fois en anglais en 1666-1667. Bon exemplaire de cet ouvrage peu commun. | [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]
