Pirated Amsterdam edition, following the first and second editions of 1717 and 1718 issued in Paris. This work, based on d'Arvieux's manuscript, was edited by Jean de La Roque (1661-1745), who had made several voyages to the Levant himself. D'Arvieux (1635-1702) lived in the Levant at Seyde from 1653 to 1665 and later settled in Constantinople. In 1679 he was appointed consul at Aleppo, where he remained until his retirement in 1686 to Marseilles. This work gives a detailed account of the religion, customs, diversions, etc. of the Bedouins, and includes the description of d'Arvieux's mission to Mount Carmel in 1664. Also included is a general description of Arabia by Sultan Ishmael Abulfeda (1273-1331), which first appeared in French in this work. Abu'l-Fidaʼ, Sultan of Hamah was a Mamluk-era Kurdish geographer, historian, Ayyubid prince and local governor of Hama.

Röhricht 1112; for the first edition see Atabey 38; Blackmer 50; see Warren Hamilton Lewis, Levantine Adventurer: The Travels and Missions of the Chevalier D'Arvieux, 1653-1697 (1963).

Cute but Extremely Uncomfortable
Size: 6, Color: Blue Leather
The shoes are very pretty, but they are absolutely uncomfortable. I could barely wear them for an hour without my feet hurting. Unfortunately, they look much better than they feel. I really wanted to love them, but they are not comfortable enough to wear for any extended period of time.

Too narrow at the toes, even for narrow feet

Too narrow at the toe. I have narrow feet, but I could feel my toes being squished as soon as I stood up in these.. Bummer.
