WYNKYN DE WORDE
A Voyage to Jerusalem by John Moreson : The Informacyon for Pylgrymes unto the Holy Lande, 1423. An unattributed review for the Retrospective Review, 1820.
Charles & Henry Baldwyn, London, 1820. First Edition, Disbound. Very Good Condition. 4 pages. "Such is the extreme rarity of this singular little work, that we consider ourselves particularly fortunate in being enabled to give an account of its contents. It is mentioned both by Herbert and Mr. Dibdin ;* who, neither of them having seen the book, are indebted to Ames for their scanty notice of it; and if we may form a conclusion from the mistakes into which Ames appears to have fallen, it was perhaps never submitted even to his inspection. It is entitled, judging from the Colophon, Informacyon, and not Instructions, for Pilgrims, and is not written by one John Moreson, as he states. This John Moreson being a "marchaunte of Venyce," who was the owner of the ship in which the pilgrims sailed, whose journal is here given." This is the entire article, but there is no binding or covers, and all the pages are loose and neatly trimmed on all four edges. Size: 13 x 21 cms. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Retrospective Review; Inventory No: 368908.
