FIRST COLLECTED EDITION OF KNOLLES' AND RYCAUT'S WORKS, though the sixth edition of Knolles' Turkish History. First published in 1603, the History was the first major work on the subject to appear in English and highly valued for its prose style. The continuation was extended to a third volume published by Rycaut in 1700. Atabey 1076 (this copy, wrongly said to lack 10 of the 21 plates; binding illustrated); Blackmer 1466; Lowndes III, 1286: 'best edition'; Wing K-702, R-2407 & R-2408.
