Catalogue Note
complete with the exceptionally rare third part, and in a contemporary german blind-stamped binding. Wagner's work is a comprehensive and profusely-illustrated survey of the Ottoman and Roman empires. As well as the Near and Middle East, Wagner covers Russia, the Balkans, Europe and north Africa. The first two parts of the work are uncommon, and the third is of great rarity; no copy containing all three parts is recorded at auction by ABPC.
