Publisher's Synopsis

""The Navigation And Voyages Of Lewis Wertomannus: To The Regions Of Arabia, Egypt, Persia, Syria, Ethiopia, And East India"" is a historical travelogue written by Lodovico De Varthema and originally published in 1884. The book recounts the travels of Lewis Wertomannus, an Italian adventurer, through various regions of the Middle East and East India in the early 16th century. The author, De Varthema, compiled Wertomannus' accounts of his travels and provided additional commentary on the places, people, and customs encountered during the journey. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of the regions visited, including detailed descriptions of landmarks, cities, and historical events. It is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the early modern period of world history, as well as for general readers interested in travel writing and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
