The 1685 Longhi edition of this important work with an early map of the Danube and early plates depicting Constantinople. Scarce to find complete, and scarcer with hand-colouring to any of the plates.

The engravings depict the fortesses along the Danube and include views of Constantinople, Adrianople, and Belgrade. The map, drawn by Martin Menradt, was the first map to show in detail the region between the Black Forest, the source of the Danube, and Tutlingen, Germany.

12mo (14.5 x 9 cm); folding engraved map and 48 folding plates (complete), 2 with hand colour, by Jacob Sandrart, contemporary vellum, spine lettered in manuscript, a very good copy; xii, 286 pp.

Cf. Apponyi 1092 (1684 ed); cf. Atabey 108 (German edition); cf. Horvat 47 & 49.
