Rev. Joseph Wolff stayed and travelled widely in the Levant for almost twenty years. His first travel to the Levant in early 1830s was to Egypt and Sinai. He continued to Palestine and Persia returning through Armenia and Constantinople. In his second travel in the late 1830s he visited several places in Greece (Aegina, Navarino, the Ionian islands, Mount Athos ) and Cyprus. He continued east to Palestine, Khorassan and India. Third trip to Abyssinia and Syria. Finally a fourth trip to Greece (where he met in Athens with the king Otto and Amalia) and thence to Constantinople and Trebizond (Trapezounta) in the Black sea in route for Chorassan again. His travels and adventures is a very detailed account of all the places which he visited and all the people he met. A really cosmopolitan American missionary, characteristic of the 19th century. His accounts for the Levant are unique, as made by a contemporary world traveler. Very rare. Not in Atabey or Blackmer this edition. Atabey 1345( for his first trip only).Scarce
