Tome II, pl.17).

Publié pour la première fois en allemand entre 1771 et 1776, "Voyages de M. P. S. Pallas" est le récit de l'expédition de Pallas à travers les provinces de la Russie centrale de 1768 à 1774. Naturaliste et ethnographe allemand, Pierre Simon Pallas (1741-1811) accepta la place de professeur à l'Académie des sciences de Saint-Pétersbourg que lui proposait L'impératrice de Russie Catherine II désireuse de s'attacher ses services. Chargé par celle-ci d'aller observer en Sibérie le passage de Vénus sur le soleil attendu en 1869, en compagnie de sept astronomes, de cinq naturalistes et de plusieurs élèves, Pallas n'hésita pas à joindre à sa mission, uniquement par goût, des études sur les langues et les m?urs des habitants des contrées visitées. Il passa l'hiver à Simbirsk, sur la Volga, descendit le Jaïk (rebaptisé Oural par Catherine II de Russie en 1775) au printemps suivant et visita les bords de la mer Caspienne. Il visita ensuite les mines de l'Oural et hiverna à Tobolsk, en repartit en 1772 pour parcourir les monts Altaï et inspecter leurs mines, atteignit les confins nord de la Chine en 1773, revint par le Caucase et rentra enfin à Saint-Pétersbourg en 1774. Il revint de ce périple complètement exténué, ses compagnons de voyage ne vivant même pas assez pour pouvoir publier eux-mêmes leurs observations, c'est lui seul qui s'en chargea. Les fruits de cette longue exploration furent considérables. Pallas décrivit et classa maintes espèces alors totalement inconnues, et rédigea une monographie complète de la race mongole, offrant à l'occident la connaissance du lamaismes et de ses rites. Plats légèrement frottés, coins inférieurs émoussés. Petit manque de papier tome 1, pl. 24 ainsi que tome IV, pl. 35 & tome V, pl. 18. Bel exemplaire.
