Description

8vo [22 x 14 cm]; xxviii, 546 pp, frontis, maps, index. original cloth, dj (bit rubbed), else fine, clean and bright. A picture of this book is available upon request by email. Prutky, a Franciscan missionary, was sent on a mission to Ethiopia in 1751 after an invitation by the Ethiopian emperor. Although this adventure forms the bulk of the book there is also some interesting description of India and Ceylon and the voyages. The information on Ethiopia in that period is not available elsewhere.
