About This Item
8vo, pp. 303, [25]. Italic letter, some Roman, printed side notes. Woodcut historiated initials. Occasional light age toning. Period blind-stamped black leather with some skilful restorations, all edges red. Early restorations of blank corners at last few leaves of index. Original endpapers, light candle burning on small area of head fore-edge. Overall, a very good copy.
Early edition of this popular book dedicated to the descriptions of the customs of various peoples from all around the world, which, although essentially composed of extracts from classical authors, represents the first systematic attempt at ethnography. It was first printed in 1520 and went soon through several editions. The work is divided in three books: the first one concerns Africa, the second Asia and the third one Europe.
