Description

1799 Voyages in Syria & EGYPT Africa Illustrated MAPS Sphinx Pyramids 2v Volney

Constantin-François Volney, an 18th-century French philosopher known for his historical works on archaeology and travel. In his works, Volney writes of human search for truth, origins of culture, powers of nature, and laws of philosophy and nature. One of his most famous works was a report on his voyages to Africa, “Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte”. This work describes customs, art, history and origins, state of military, and influence of other countries.

According to Carre, ‘French Travelers in Egypt’,

“This book remains the base of our knowledge on these countries at the end of the 18th-century.”

Included are seven incredible folding engravings depicting:

Sphinx of Giza

Pyramids of Djize

Map of Syria

Temple of the Sun, Baalbek

Building Plans for the Temple of the Sun in Baalbek

Ruins of Palmyra in the Syrian Desert

Map of Turkey
