[Turkey]. [GRELOT, Guillaume-Joseph]. A New Account of a Journey to Constantinople. Paris: Pierre Rocolet’s shop; published by the widow of Damien Foucault, 1681. In-12, (6) ff., 371-(1) pp., 14 plates. Contemporary mottled havana calfskin, decorated ribbed spine, gilt title (binding worn, upper cap trimmed, 2 corners restored). A sought-after work for its particularly accurate and detailed illustrations of Constantinople, based on the author’s drawings made on site at the city’s monuments and landmarks. The illustrations consist of 14 fold-out black-and-white engravings, including a large panoramic view of Constantinople, as well as several views of the interior and exterior of the former Hagia Sophia. This is the only in-12 edition of this work; it is the second edition following the 1680 edition, which was published in in-4 format. Brunet, II, 1733.
