In 1718, German monk, Angelicus Maria Myller made a pilgrimage from Rome to the Holy Land. He also visited Egypt, Syria and Turkey and parts of Bulgaria and Russia. The fold-out engraved plates here include spectacular views of Alexandria, Cairo, Mecca and the Vatican. In addition, Myeller provides illustrations of flora and fauna encountered on his travels, as well as archeological sites. A series of ten bust portraits atop coats-of-arms appear towards the end of the volume, featuring Dieudonné de Gozon, the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes and Fr. Foulques de Villaret, the Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem.
