Spon traveled throughout Europe stopping in Greece, Constantinople, the Levant, as well as Switzerland. He found impressive treasures, coins, and handwritten manuscripts which inspired his famed book 'The History of the Republic of Geneva'.
This book features impressive folding views of Geneva as well as engravings of coins and medallions. And while the illustrations are valuable, the importance of this book comes from that this book was the first published history of the city of Geneva.

1597 Cooking & Cuisine FEASTS Stucki Antiquitatum Convivialium Greek CeremoniesJohann Wilhelm Stucki was a 16th-century Swiss historian and theologian who published an important treatise on the development and history of ancient ceremonies and banquets. 'Antiquitatum Convivialium' was a study on the art of banqueting and ultimately stated that ceremonies of all types were a necessary and significant part of all cultures. This work was so ground-breaking, that it was solely responsible for all other accounts written on the subject. Nicolas Popper states that
"Stucki devoted nearly four hundred folio leaves to the feasts of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Latins."
