Note

Vol. 1 is a translation of 'L'esploratore turco .. ' by G. P. Marana, originally published in Paris in 1684; subsequent volumes have been variously attributed, but were probably edited by Robert Midgley from William Bradshaw's translation of the original Italian MS

The general titlepage is followed by the preface and index

The text itself is in two volumes, each with a separate titlepage, pagination and register; the titlepage to vol. 1 bears the statement: "The nineteenth edition", that to vol. 2: "The seventh edition".
