Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition in English. xiii (including Subscriber List),1 errata p, 171 pages. 178 x104 mm. Minor water stains. Sarton II, 414.The binding is not the original one. Benjamin MiTudela (of Tudela) left Tudela, Spain between 1159 and 1163, returning in 1172. He traveled for more than 10 (some believe 14) years, visiting Jewish and non-Jewish communities around the world, and kept a diary that proved invaluable to historians. There is no general account of the Mediterranean world or of the Middle East in the mid 12th century which approaches that of Benjamin of Tudela in importance, whether for Jewish or general history. He indicates distances between towns he visited, tells who stood at the head of the Jewish communities, and who were the most notable scholars. He gives the number of Jews he found in each place, though it is not clear in many instances whether he is speaking of individuals or households, and in some cases such as Baghdad, the figures seem to be exaggerated. He notes economic conditions, describes the activity of merchants in Barcelona, Montpellier, Alexandria, etc. and writes of the occupations of the Jews: the dyers in Brindisi, the silk-weavers in Thebes, the tanners in Constantinople, and the glass-workers in Aleppo and Tyre. He was deeply interested in Jewish scholarship, and his accounts of intellectual life in Provence and Baghdad are especially important, as is his characterization of the organization of synagogue life in Egypt. Sects, too, engaged his attention: the Samaritans in Eretz Israel, the Karaites in Constantinople, a heretical sect in Cyprus which he relates observed the Sabbath from dawn to dawn. His characterizations of non-Jewish life are vivid. His account of the Assassins of Lebanon and of the Ghuzz Turks are primary historical sources, and he may be the first European of modern times to mention China by the present name. His work has been translated into almost every European language and is used as a primary source-book by all medieval historians. He traveled from Tudela, north Spain, to Barcelona, to Provence, giving a full account of the cities and the scholars of the region, and described in detail the economic life. From Marseilles he sailed to Genoa, traveled through Pisa to Rome, where he must have spent a fairly long time since he provides a detailed description of its antiquities, though he mistakingly interpreted many of these as associated with Jewish history. He wrote about the Roman Jewish community and its relations with the much-opposed Pope Alexander III. After Rome he headed south describing, sometimes at length, the conditions in Salerno, Amalfi, Melfi, Benevento, and Brindisi. He sailed by way of Corfu to Arta, and then through Greece, where he noted the Jewish silk-weavers in various places, and the agricultural colony at Crissa on Mt. Parnassus. He apparently spent a long time in Constantinople, providing the best 12th century description of both Jewish and non-Jewish conditions there. He sailed through the Aegean archipelago to Cyprus, crossed to the mainland, headed south via Antioch, Sidon, Tyre, and Akko to Eretz Israel, which was still under the rule of the Crusaders. He traveled throughout the country, giving a detailed account of the Holy Places (often calling them by their French names. Thus Hebron is St. Abram de Bron). On the whole, his descriptions are far more objective than those of Christian pilgrims of the age, and he provides us with added insight by focusing on Jerusalem and its Jewish community. From Tiberias he traveled to Damascus, then Baghdad. His account of the Druze was the first in the non-Arabic literature. His account of Baghdad was more extensive than any other. He drew a graphic picture of the court of the caliph and the charitable foundations of the city. He describes the organization of the still-surviving talmudic academies and the glories and functions of the Exilarch. After Baghdad, his accounts are historically suspect. . . …

Fine or perfect condition. Margins wide. Blank on verso. Size 14 x 17 Inches. This fascinating hand colored map depicts Asia at the beginning of the 2nd century B.C.E. This period corresponds with the Han dynasty of China, the rise of the Hiongnu Empire in Mongolia, and the Seleucid Turk Empire in Persia. All text is in German, but the title roughly translates as 'Asia with beginning of the second century before Christ. Time of the Seleuciden and the Turk of realm Hiong-nu in High Asia.' Map was originally part of the 1855 edition of Karl von Spruner's Historical Hand Atlas.…

Good. Old mounting on thick paper for binding; attractive original hand color. Centerfold expertly mended with slight loss. Marginal soling, else very good. Size 19.25 x 22.75 Inches. This is Johan Baptist Homann's first map of Asia, in a bold, attractively-colored example of its 1707 first plate. It presents the state of the art of mapping the eastern extreme of the Asian continent, working to reconcile the geography of Nicolas Witsen with De Vries and other explorers of the Pacific. It incorporates the Dutch discoveries in Australia and the East Indies, as well as Dampier's explorations as recently as 1700. Its elaborate allegorical cartouches are executed with the skill and beauty associated with the earliest iterations of Homann's maps. A Closer Look The map presents Asia broadly: its western limits include part of Germany and a glimpse of Italy; the course of the lower Danube is shown, and Scandinavia appears in detail. The Russian Empire is described as European and reaches as far south as the Danube, the Black Sea coast, and the River Don. The eastern extents of the Russian Empire, from the Ob to the Witsen Peninsula and the Pacific Coast, are presented distinctly from the rest of the Empire. Part of Africa (mainly the Nile River valley) appears. The Turkish Empire is shown with occupied areas in the Balkans and Greece. Arabia is distinguished, as are the Persian Empire, Tartaria, the Mogul Empire in India, and China (both inside and outside the Wall). The East Indies, Japan, and Australia are shown with up-to-date detail. Dampier's passage north of Carpenteria and claims of New Britain in 1700 are noted. Arnhem's Land and Vay van Diemen are named on the north coast of Australia. A State-Of-The-Art Siberia The whole of the Asian Northeast - everything extending north and east from the Caspian Sea - is here derived from the 1687 map of Nicolaes Witsen, the first European with access to Russian sources for these remote regions. Perhaps the paucity of data Witsen provides for the Pacific Coast south of the 50th parallel encourages the broad speculation on the present map. Witsen's book Noord en Oost Tartarye ( North and East Tartary ) was the century's most authoritative work on those regions. Japan, Korea, and the Company Islands South of Witsen's contributions, Homann joins the rest of the cartographic establishment in trying to reconcile the newest Dutch maps with established models for the mapping of Japan and the islands to its north. Homann presents a peninsular Korea. The coastline north of the peninsula is shown indistinctly between 40 and 55 degrees north, with the accompanying note that 'the coastline of Chinese Tartary is unknown.' The maps of the late 17th century typically connected to this part of Asia a large, peninsular Terra de Yesso or Yedso , which was thought to include an island north of the Japanese mainland now known to be Hokkaido. The present map is remarkable because it separates Yedso from the mainland and connects it to Japan, eliminating the Tsugaru Strait. Yedso continues to reflect the Dutch formulation of the southern coast of Terra de Yesso , Staten Island (Kunashir), and Compagnies Land (Iturup). The Strait of De Vries is named. Allegorical Engraving Both cartouches, in the upper right and lower left, exemplify Homann's finest baroque decoration. The theme of the decoration is in keeping with Homann's address to the reader, contained in the upper right cartouche: .Asia is swelling with different empires, which are mainly Mohammedan, or even spreading from the evil errors of the heathen. in China alone and other small islands of the Indies, the triumphant glory of the Cross of Christ, the present map itself will teach more. The decorations of the cartouches depict the idolatry that Christian Europeans expected to find in the East: the upper right shows a procession, with pipes and gongs, bearing a multi-armed, demonic idol before them. In the lower left, an array of exotically-clad potentat. …
