Doubdan J., "Le voyage de la Terre Sainte", Paris, 1666. Third edition, in 4to, 24x20cm, pp.[6] 714p.[10] and 11 copper engraved plates, some folded. Contemporary full leather, slightly rubbed at the corners, spine richly gilt, inside clean and fine. A very good copy of a scarce travel account. Jean Doubdan, a French Priest, travelled to Palestine in 1651-52 through Greece and the eastern Mediterranean. His itinerary to Jerusalem includes a very detailed description of the Holy Land, as well as his narrative through the Greek islands. Doubdan provides extensive notes on the Christians of the Levant, their costume and way of life. He has returned via Cyprus and Italy and has kept detailed calendar notes. His description of the eastern Mediterranean of the middle 17th century is very valuable. Not in Atabey or Blackmer,
