NOE [BIANCHI], Franciscan. Viaggio da Venetia al S. Sepolcro et al Monte Sinai, col dissegno delle città, castelli, ville, chiese...che fin là ritrouano. Bassano: G.A. Remondini, [ca.1680].
8° (149 x 100mm). Title printed in red and black with a red woodcut cross, 157 large and small woodcuts including 4 double-page views of Corfu, Modone, Candia and Cairo. (Title-page and following leaf damaged and skilfully repaired with a few letters supplied by hand, last leaf repaired with no loss of text, one or two top margins cut quite close.) English 19th-century roan gilt by Pratt, g.e.
A large edition of this guidebook to the Holy Land which was first printed in 1500 (Goff V-267). At the beginning is much sound advice to would-be pilgrims: what clothes, food and money to take, make a will before leaving, what to do in case of seasickness, how much to tip and, above all, do not try to convert the Saracen.
