Arundell, F.V.J. Discoveries in Asia Minor; Including a Description of the Ruins of Several Ancient Cities, and Especially Antioch of Pisidia. Two Volumes. Complete
London Richard Bentley 1834 1st Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7" - 9" tall
In Two Volumes. Complete, 358 pp + 489 pp Large folding map, 10 engraved plates. Condition of this two volume complete set is good antiquarian. The books are handsomely library bound in dark blue buckram with blue spines with gilt. Corners are bumped and a bit rubbed. Interiors have all normal library impedimenta including pockets. Last library blank in 2nd volume is missing. The folding map has a short tear at the connection as well as a small split along the fold at the fore-edge, title page is chipped at fore-edge, foxing near the plates and at front and back but otherwise clean and unmarked. The paper is starting to be brittle and while still whole, some pages show signs of cracking at the gutter, contents page in the 2nd volume has been remounted. Half title is present in Vol. I, not called for in second volume. When the books were rebound for the library the binder apparently had a liberal hand with the glue, resulting in some oxidation stains showing through at the gutter occasionally.This is the hard to find complete first edition of Arundell’s Discoveries in Asia Minor, recounting his travels in Anatolia in 1833, complete with all ten of the called for engravings, as well as the beautiful folding map. Francis Vyvyan Jago Arundell, (1780-1846) was the British chaplain at Izmir/Smyrna between 1822-1834. As soon as he took up residence in Smyrna he started traveling and writing, publishing his first book on Anatolia in 1826. In 1833 he embarked upon a 1,000 mile tour of the most remote regions of Anatolia, through districts which had hitherto not been described by any European. One of his greatest triumphs was finding, identifying and studying the city Antioch of Pisidia, famous as the place where Paul of Tarsus gave his first sermon to the Gentiles(Acts 13:13-52). He gives many archeological details, as well as information on his observations and conversations with the Turks, Greeks, Armenians and other denizens he meets along the way.

Denon, Vivant Voyage Dans La Basse et La Haute Egypte, Pendant Les Campagnes Du General Bonaparte
Paris P. Didot L'Aine 1802 Hard Cover Fair-Good No Jacket 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
xxiii, 324 pp, 348 pp, 296 pp. 12 volumes in 3 without the plates as published (it was necessary to buy the "atlas" of plates separately). First 12mo edition. Depicts events during Napoleon's invasion of Egypt, as well as some of the important discoveries made by the scholars who accompanied the expedition. These include the monuments of Luxor and Thebes and elsewhere, and also details of the mummies and accompanying grave goods. Dominique Vivant, Baron de Denon (4 January 1747-27 April 1825) was a French artist, writer, diplomat, author, and archaeologist. Dominique was appointed first director of the Louvre Museum by Napoleon after the Egyptian campaign of 1798-1801. At Bonaparte's invitation he joined the expedition to Egypt as part of the arts and literature section of the Institut d'Égypte, and thus found the opportunity of gathering the materials for his most important literary and artistic work. He accompanied General Desaix to Upper Egypt, and made numerous sketches of the monuments of ancient art, sometimes under the very fire of the enemy. The results were published in his Voyage dans la basse et la haute Egypte (Journey in Lower and Upper Egypt), published as two volumes in 1802. The work crowned his reputation both as an archaeologist and as an artist, and sparked the Egyptian Revival in architecture and decorative arts. Three volumes are in fair-good condition. Bound in the original tree calf leather with gilt ornamentation to the boards and the spines, red black and gilt spine labels. Label on Vol 3 is missing, spine covering on Vol I partly missing at the tips, majority of the spine covering on Vol. 3 is missing as well. Boards are generally rubbed. Interior marbled end papers with the ownership label of Edward Blake. Half titles are quite foxed, volume 1 half title has small ink blotch, end papers foxed, some light old pencil notes to last end papers, Vol. II has a folding plate in French and Greek with is a bit foxed and ends worn but otherwise intact. Still handsome, the scarce first 12mo edition, could easily be restored or simply enjoyed for the fascinating text.
