First German edition of the richly illustrated Turkish chronicle. The original English edition was published in 1668. The exquisite copperplate engravings depict landscapes, battle scenes, scenes of horror, and genre scenes from religion, culture and everyday life. The English diplomat Paul Ricaut (also Rycaut; 1629–1700) spent several years in the Ottoman Empire as an embassy secretary; his work is based on authentic sources and his own observations. – A third part, entitled ‘A Curious Appendix on the Present State of the Greek and Armenian Churches Groaning under Turkish Tyranny’, was also published, but is not included here.
