Sobre este artículo
[8], VI, [2], 446 pp.Rare first edition of a richly illustrated account of Yemen, without doubt "one of the fullest descriptions of life in San'a' and Turkish-occupied North Yemen" (Auchterlonie) ever published. The Italian explorer Manzoni (1852-1918) spent three years travelling in Yemen, including an entire year in Sana'a, his "citta bellissima". He "investigated the city more thoroughly and described it more vividly than any of his predecessors ... also, he was the first to draw a map of the city" (cf. Henze). The illustrations include pretty views of Sana'a and Aden, as well as portraits of the local population.Library stamp of the Paris École des Langues Orientales Vivantes on the title-page, somewhat rubbed. Marked as a duplicate in red pencil on the blank recto of the frontispiece. Extremities very slightly rubbed; some remnants of ink stains on the frontispiece; minor browning to margins throughout; last folding map with small tears (repaired).l Auchterlonie 138; Henze III, 366.
