Joseph Wolff (1795-1862) was a Messianic Jewish missionary born in Weilersbach, Germany. His father David was a Rabbi. Joseph left home at 11 and travelled for six years, eventually converting to Catholicism and later training as a missionary at the seminary of the Collegio Romano in Rome. Later in life he became a member of the Church of England. Wolff travelled widely during his lifetime and was known as 'the missionary to the world'. He published several journals of his expeditions, the best known of which is offered here.

First edition; 8vo; some light marginal toning and dust-soiling, very occasional light spotting; publisher's quarter calf over blue cloth, heavy loss to spine, boards detached but present, extremities rather rubbed, dark top edge, others speckled blue; a fair copy.
