Catalogue Note
“First edition of this important work translated from the Latin manuscript by Moryson himself. Moryson was one of the most important of the Elizabethan travellers; he made two long journeys to various countries of Europe between 1591 and 1595, and to the Levant from November, 1595 to July 1597. Much of the material on Europe remained in manuscript until 1903, but the section on the Levant is complete here” (Atabey).
