Note
"This edition of Wansleben's Giornale is ... far longer than the Nouvelle Relation, describing the journeys from Paris to Egypt by way of Cyprus and Syria, and from Egypt to Istanbul, by way of Chios and Izmir ... The manuscript, which formerly had the shelfmarks Baluze 211 and then Regius 10263/2, is now BNF MS italien 435."--p.56

Description
Johann Michael Wansleben's Travels in the Levant, 1671-1674 is a hitherto unpublished version of a remarkable description of Egypt and the Levant by the German scholar traveller Wansleben, or Vansleb (as he was known in France). He set out for the East in 1671 to collect
manuscripts and antiquities for the French king and also produced the best study of the Copts to have appeared to date. This book recounts his travels in Syria, Turkey and Egypt, his everyday life in Cairo, and his anthropological and archeological discoveries which include the Graeco-Roman Gabbari cemetery in Alexandria, the Roman city of Antinopolis on the Nile, the Coptic monastery of St Anthony on the Red Sea and the Red and White monasteries in Upper Egypt.
