Description:
A little foxing here and there, and some fraying of the spine heads and heels, but all pages clean and tight. One foldout has two small tears.Arguably the greatest diary in English by possibly the world's greatest diarist. This is Henry B Wheatley's 1896/1897 10-volume publication (the diary in 8 volumes, plus the index published in 1924 and the Pepysiana published in 1928). This is the diary the world knew until Robert Latham's and William Matthews' nine-volume definitive edition of 1970-1983.These eight volumes of the diary belonged to and bear the bookplates of Duke Georg Alexander of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1859-1909), eldest son of Grand Duchess Catherine Mikhailovna and a cousin of Emperor Alexander III of Russia. He was a Major General in the Russian Army, a skilled musician and the founder of the Mecklenburg Quartet.

Description:
51 pages, 15 woodcuts, 2 fold-out maps (Venice, 9 pages, 65" long; Jerusalem, 6 1/2 pages, 50" long) and 6 pages of text in facsimile. Dust jacket reproduction of Reuwich's woodcut map of Civitas Iherusalem.
First edition of Guido Pressler's 1961 facsimile of Bernhard von Breydenbach's (1440–1497) famous 1486 account in German of his pilgrimage from Venice to the Holy Land and Egypt form April of 1483 to January 1484, appearing first as Peregrinatio in terram sanctam.
Von Breydenbach was accompanied by Dutch artist Erhard Reuwich, and Reuwich's woodcut fold-out maps (the first in the West and the first accurate topographical representation of Jerusalem), drawings and reproductions of Arabic letters represented a major development in the art of printing and in disseminating geographical information. This book is "one of the seminal books pf early printing." (Jeffrey Smith, UT Austin)
