Signed by Valenti Angelo in the colophon. Handsome edition of this famed compilation of voyages which first appeared around 1366; Mandeville claimed to have traveled through Turkey, Persia, Arabia, Syria, North Africa and Indian himself, but modern scholars have ascertained that the work was largely gathered from various literary sources.
