Nicolas de Nicolay (1517-1583)

Le Navigationi et Viaggi nella Turchia. 1580

NICOLAY, Nicolas de, seigneur d'Arfeville (1517-1583). Le Navigationi et Viaggi nella Turchia. Venice: Francesco Ziletti, 1580.



Contemporary hand-coloured engravings, among the finest and most influential illustrations of Turkish characters and costumes. Nicolay accompanied Gabriel d'Aramont, French diplomat and ambassador, on a mission to Constantinople in 1551. While there he wrote this account and sketched his remarkable figures of Ottomans, Arabs, Armenians, and islanders in costume. Brunet IV, 67; Adams, N-253. Colas II, 220.



Folio (300 x 204mm). Woodcut device on title, initials and headpieces, 67 engravings of Turkish costumes all coloured by a contemporary hand, mis-paginated at pp. 50 and 143-144 as issued, complete with final blank M8 (very many marginal repairs, E3 extensively remargined with some loss to printed border and replaced with facsimile, E6 mounted on a stub and lower margin renewed, leaves F3-5, L1, L6, L8, M4 and M5 mounted on stubs, G1 extensively repaired at gutter, H4 with short tear in image and with small marginal repair, some colour-bleed, show-through, light staining and spotting). Modern marbled paper-backed limp pasteboard (soiled and rubbed). Provenance: Abbot Niccolo Strozzi (canon of Florence, fl. 1642; inscription) – Carlo Tommaso Strozzi (1666- after 1720; inscription) – Duke of Genoa (title with book label 'Biblioteca di S.A.R. il Duca di Genova' and stamp 'Biblioteca del Duca di Genova', this latter repeated in margin of B4r and G2r; presumably Ferdinando Maria Alberto Amedeo (1822-1855), Duke of Genoa).
