Sobre este item
[8], 198, [2] pp.Rare first edition of a journal of an expedition to Candia (Heraklion), Greece, commanded by François d'Aubusson, duc de la Feuillade (1625-1691), to help the Venetians during the Siege of Candia (1645-1669) against the Ottoman Empire. De la Feuillade had already fought the Ottoman forces at the battle of St. Gothard in 1664 and volunteered to help. With assistance from Pope Clement IX he equipped 500 men at his own expense. The journal was written as a letter by a volunteer on the expedition.The work gives an account of the Cretan war and also contains some valuable information on the Greek Orthodox Church. The manuscript of the text came into the hands of a certain Thioly, who disclaims, however, all knowledge of the author. Two later editions were published in the same year at Grenoble, followed by another in 1670, and an English translation in 1670. With ownerships inscription on first fly-leaf "Ex-libris Stephani...estie, 1670". Very good copy.l Blackmer 859; Goldsmith, BMC STC French E-575; WorldCat (3 copies); not in Atabey; Barbier; Chadenat; cf. Maignien 552-553 (Grenoble editions); for La Feuillade: NBG XXVIII, cols. 731-733.
