The animals, trees, plants & fruits found there, & finally the missions of the religious who were founded there, & the various events that occurred there. Composed, revised & increased by himself. And translated from Latin by a religious of the same Order. Lyon, Antoine Julliéron, 1669, large vol. in-8, [24] ff. n. ch. (title, dedication to Paul-Albert de Forbin, foreword, notice to the translator, table of chapters), 592 pp. with two copper-engraved portraits in the text (pp. 455, 461), soft vellum with flaps, smooth spine (modern binding). Copy a little short of margin. Stamp (probably of a religious institution) erased. Identical to the first French translation (Lyon, 1652), which was based on the Latin original (Itinerarium orientale R. P. Philippi a Sanctissima Trinitate, Lyon, 1649). A much sought-after account, rich in information of all kinds on the countries of the Middle East and the Malabar coast. One will note especially the parts devoted to the Christians of the East (V-5, V-6, V-7, V-8 and V-9) a whole chapter devoted to the Eastern Jews (VI-8). Born in Malaucène, Esprit Julien (1603-1671) had entered the Order of Discalced Carmelites in 1620; he was sent to the East by Cardinal Antonio Barberini in 1629. Röhricht, 247. Hage Chahine, 3692.
