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 reconstruction of the titlepage of vol. 1 is conjectural

The fifth volume has no edition statement and "Rhodes" in the imprint is spelt "Rodes".
