Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xxxvi, 427 pp, map. 1,150 entries. An appealing bibliography which describes some 1,150 published accounts of Egypt by visitors from the earliest times to the end of the First World War. Coverage extends to books, parts of books and monographs by travellers and other visitors, but excludes pure guidebooks and books of strictly historical, anthropological, archaeological, or political interest. Works in all the European languages (including Cyrillic languages) are included, but coverage is strongest for English-language accounts. Each entry provides the author's name (and dates of birth and death if known); publication details for the first and sometimes other editions (including title, publisher, place and year of publication, and number of pages); date of travel; author's nationality; and an annotation describing and sometimes evaluating the work in anything from about 10 to about 150 words, sometimes including a brief quotation indicating the flavour of the work described. There is a map and an introductory historical sketch of travel to Egypt. Fine.
