Giovanni Zuallart (a.k.a. Giovanni Zuallardo or Jean Zuallart, 1541-1634) was a Belgian Judge, Templar Knight and mayor of the town of Hainaut in the years 1584-1634.

In 1586 Zuallart, in the company of Philippe de Mérode, baron de Frentzen, made a six month pilgrimage from Rome to Jerusalem. This work describe their journey to the Holy Land, including descriptions of Crete and Cyprus. It is divided to four books: the first gives warnings and advice on preparation for the holy pilgrimage; the second describes the cities and islands on the along the way from Venice to Jaffa; books three and four describe the holy places in the region, including their historic background, with very detailed coverage of Jerusalem.

The first edition of this work was first published in Italian in 1595, with Zuallart's own illustrations, and later in an extended version in 1626. This book is of importance particularly for its numerous illustrations, which depict the Holy Land in the beginning of its Ottoman era. These illustrations were later used by several other writers on Palestine. This edition was issued under the supervision of Zuallart himself. All the plates from the 1595 edition have been reproduced except that depicting the Eastern Mediterranean; the plates were newly engraved for the Antwerp edition.

First edition in French, small quarto; engraved title vignette, 50 plates in the letterpress, 2 full-page, later (nineteenth/twentieth century) calf gilt, a very good example; [xxiv], 191, [i], 235, [i], 230, [i] pp.

Blackmer 1874; Laor 1170; Navari, Ioannou, II, 571; Roehricht 797.
