First Edition


A folio volume, bound in full, probably slightly later, calf, and measures approx 31.4cm x 21.8cm x 7.4cm. The boards have some surface scuffing and scratches, and a little surface chipping and fraying. There are a couple of worm holes to the base of spine. Gilt to spine rubbed and faded and title label lacking. The binding is firm. Internally, the pastedowns have come unstuck from the front and rear boards, and the blanks to the front and rear are a bit grubby, marked and creased with some tears/wears to joints around stitching. As can be seen from the images the remnants of the engraved title page is in poor condition. Darkened, chipped, brittle, worn, torn, browned and stained, with loss. 2 of the prelim leaves are lacking, and the remaining 2 prelim leaves are similarly tatty, torn, stained and grubby. Again, as can be seen from the images, the contents have some similar condition scattered throughout, with many leaves torn, and/or chipped, or with holes, chips, and with loss, many of which have crude attempts at repair. There are numerous repaired tears. Several leaves have large loss, including most of the last leaf to rear. There is staining, and ink staining, grubbiness, smudges and marks and rust spots throughout, all in varying degrees. Heavier to the leaves of table to rear. A couple of adjoining leaves (which contain portraits) are loosening at the inner edge and have become worn, nicked and frayed to edges. There are ink markings and stains in places throughout. Lacking most of the last leaf of table, and the Errata.


Engraved title page, [4] I-1152, [38] p

29 engraved portrait are completed

(pages 41/42, 45/46, 43/44 bound out of sequence)


Thus: Lacking 2 leaves of prelims, and Errata to rear


Engraved portraits by Laurence Johnson, with numerous woodcut initials, and head and tailpieces throughout.


'Knolles's was the first major work on the subject to appear in English, and was quickly recognized as a masterpiece of narrative synthesis' (ODNB).


'The greatest of English works of the Renaissance period dealing with Turkey' (Chew, cited after Blackmer).


A hugely important work, as it was the first English language account of the military and political aspects of the Ottoman Empire. Knolles sought out first hand account of battles and events, letters and reports, and was praised by Samuel Johnson as the best of English historians, displaying ".. all the excellencies that narration can admit.". It is believed that it influenced Shakespeare's writing of Othello.

It is difficult to describe, just how momentous this work is, not only for its historical content, but its prose style, and its influence in the following centuries.
