summary

The Belgian Zuallart (1541-1634) made a six-month pilgrimage from Rome to Jerusalem in 1586 and first published his work in Rome in 1587. This first French edition was issued under the direct supervision of Zuallart himself. This edition uses the illustrations of Natale Bonifacio of the previous editions, yet contains some substitution of maps with plates by Filips Galle or the Arsenius brothers (see Blackmer 1874).

pp. (24), 191, (1), 235, (1), 230, (2). Trimmed and browned, final few leaves soiled. Later half-calf over marbled boards, rubbed. Thick sm. 4to.
