Le voyage de la sainte cite de Jerusalem. Paris: Jean de la Garde, 9 May 1517.

First edition of a rare, illustrated personal account of a French pilgrim in 1480. The present anonymous travelogue details a pilgrimage taken to from Paris to Jerusalem in the spring of 1480. After reaching Venice by land, the pilgrim island hops across the Mediterranean before exploring the Holy Land. The account records visiting Rhodes on the return trip, immediately after the Ottoman's failed first siege of the city that same spring. Brunet V 1374; Bibliotheca geographica Palaestinae 394; Moreau II 1728.

Small quarto (180 × 125mm). 15 woodcut illustrations plus woodcut printer's device, woodcut initials (few light stains and occasional faint discoloration). Full brown levant extra, blindstamped covers and spine, red levant doublures, burgundy silk endpapers, edges gilt, signed by Gruel; custom slipcase. Provenance: early marginalia on f3 (faded) – later inscription on title-page "Secousse", possibly 18th-century French historian Denis-François Secousse (1691–1754) – navy leather label stamped with gilt bird device.
