1693 ENGLISH 1^ed Voyages of Rauwolf Levant Tripoli Syria EGYPT Mummies Pyramids

John Ray’s “Collection of Curious Travels & Voyages” is a fascinating 17^th-century description of famous world voyages including those of Leonhart Rauwolf. Rauwolf traveled through the Levant and the Middle East, Phoencia, Syria, and Tripoli, Lebanon. Rauwolf’s voyage proved to be an invaluable journey, a journey in which he was able to describe people, customs, and landscapes from around the Levant – including one of the first English reports of people drinking coffee!

Other voyages included in this book include the voyages of Guilandinus Alpinus to Egypt, noting the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, and mummies!
