A crisp copy of this highly illustrated work. The first edition was published in Dutch in 1688. Olfert Dapper (1635/6?-1689) was a Dutch physician and scholar who devoted himself to geographical and historical studies which were notable for their fine plates and illustrations, as here, though he never visited the places he described. His other works included Syria and Palestine, Asia Minor and Mesopotamia and the Morea.
