LE PORTUGAL A VOL D´OISEAU portugais et portugaises

Rattazzi, Princesse

REF.36503

Year s 1879

Paris; A. Degorce-Cadot éditeur; In-8º of XIX(1)415(1) pages; Hardcover

First edition of one of the most controversial travelogues about Portugal published in the 19th century. It brings together the author's impressions, after her two visits to Portugal in 1876 and 1879, about the country, its customs, society, politics and figures of the time, drawing a portrait that is at once critical, biting and marked by a foreign perspective. The work provoked strong controversy in Portugal, giving rise to the famous "Rattazzi Question", in which Camilo Castelo Branco responded with the pamphlet A Senhora Rattazzi, harshly refuting the author's assessments. Copy with half-English binding, in good general condition. Two sheets from Ilustração Portuguesa relating to the work have been added before the frontispiece.

VIAGENS EXTENSAS e Dilatadas do Celebre Arabe ABU-ABDALLAH mais conhecido pelo nome de BEN-BATUTA (Tomo I)

Abu Abdullah Mohammed Ben - Batuta

REF.18719

Year 1840

1stEdition

Lisbon; At the Academy Printing House; In-8º of (4) VIII 446 pages; Bound

Rare first Portuguese edition, and among the first printed versions of the famous travels of Ibn Battuta — or Ben-Batuta — the great Arab traveler born in Tangier in 1304. Over about four decades, Ibn Battuta traveled an impressive distance, estimated at about 120,000 kilometers, becoming one of the most extraordinary figures in the travel literature of the Islamic world. His adventure began with a pilgrimage to Mecca, but quickly turned into a long exploration that took him through vast regions: Egypt, Syria, territories of the former Byzantine Empire, Tartary, Persia, India and China. He also visited Andalusia, later returning to North Africa. In 1354 he settled in Fez, where he spent his last years dictating the account of his travels to the royal secretary Ibn Juzayy. For a long time, only small excerpts of his work were known, based on a manuscript preserved in the library of Gotha. Only in 1829 did Samuel Lee publish a more extensive translation, using three existing summaries in Cambridge. The first truly complete edition would only appear in 1853, thanks to several manuscripts discovered during the French occupation of Algeria. This edition, in French, was prepared by Charles Defrémery and Beniamino Sanguinetti. According to the Portuguese translator, José de Santo António Moura, the manuscript that served as the basis for his version was acquired in Fez in 1797. This manuscript of his “was copied from another written by Mohammed, Ben Mohammed, Ben Ahamad, Ben Jazi, Alcalbi, Granatense, contemporary and friend of Ibn Battuta, his copyist being the author of the preamble”. bib: Inocêncio, 4, 241; Encyclopedia of Exploration, p. 97 (B47). This work was published in two volumes, of which we only possess the first. The second one would be published in 1855. Copy with kraft paper protection, in good general condition.

Throughout the book, Stavorinus offers a rich description of the places he visited, addressing cultural, social, and economic aspects of the colonial regions under European rule and the local peoples. He carefully observes customs, religions, clothing, architecture, and trade practices, in addition to recounting significant historical events such as the siege of Chinsura, the famine in the kingdom of Bahar, and the earthquakes in Batavia. The author also describes daily life in the colonies, including details on food, diseases, punishments applied to slaves, and the administrative organization of the Dutch possessions. Illustrated with three fold-out maps that illustrate the voyage route. Written in a typical 18th-century style, the text combines personal observations with reflections on maritime trade, navigation, and colonial policy.
