Annotated by Richard Pankhurst. Second Series, Volume 147. First edition. Václav Prutky, a Bohemian doctor of medicine and a Franciscan missionary, worked in Ethiopia 1752-1753. His account in Latin includes material on the Middle East and India, but material on Syria and Palestine is not included in this translation. An appendix documents Prutky's mission to Russia in 1766-1769. Remedius Prutký (1713-1770) directed his missionary orientation to the region of Egypt and Ethiopia, which were traditional places of orientation of Franciscan missionary activity. In May 1750, Brother Remedius traveled from Rome to Egypt, where Jakub ?íma? was already working as the prefect of the Franciscan missions at that time . In September, he moved to the Upper Egyptian city of Jirja (Girga) , where he met other Franciscan missionaries Martin Lang and the Italian Paolo d'Agnona. Together, they expanded their knowledge of Arabic in the Franciscan hospice there. Remedius Prutký wrote a more than two hundred-page dictionary of Arabic words, Catalogus verborum Arabicorum compendiosus . Other manuscript aids that Brother Remedius acquired during his life and perhaps already in preparation for the missions were a certain dictionary ( Vocabularium ), medical aids such as Varia medicinalia and a Latin-Arabic catechism in the form of questions and answers Doctrina Christiana . During their stay in Jirja , all three missionaries (Prutký, Lang and Paolo) were once arrested and the following day sentenced to death by impalement or, according to other reports, by being cut into pieces. However, they were released again a day later. After receiving an invitation from the Abyssinian emperor Yasu II. Adiam Sagada , Lang , Prutký and the newly Syrian, incorporated into the Czech Franciscan province, Brother Antonius ab Aleppo set off via Cairo and Suez and headed for Abyssinia ( Ethiopia ). In March 1752, the three missionaries arrived in the city of Gondar and subsequently spent less than a year in Abyssinia. At the end of 1752, the missionaries were expelled from the country by the same emperor for political and religious reasons. At the beginning of 1753, they actually left the country and sailed to Europe via India , Mauritius and the Cape of Good Hope . Condition: Gently bumped corners.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 3/4") bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and decorative gilt pictorial of the ship Vitoria to front cover in original jacket. Annotated by Richard Pankhurst. Second series, volume 174. First edition. Remedius Prutky, Franciscan missionary, was in 1751 appointed vice-prefect of a mission sent to Ethiopia in response to an invitation by the then emperor, Iyasu II; with two colleagues he left Cairo in August and reached Massawa in November. After some delay he was summoned to Gondar, which he reached in March, and, largely by his expertise in medicine, began to make friends among the court and the clergy. But the Coptic archbishop at Gondar soon prevailed upon the weak Emperor to expel the missionaries, who thus spent only nine months in Gondar, and seventeen months in the country altogether. From Masawa the missionaries went to Mocha, and thence by courtesy of a French ship to Pondicherry, where Dupleix the governor sent them in October 1752 to L'Orient in France. From there they returned to Rome by way of the Canal du Midi and Marseilles. From Rome Prutky recounts his journey to his home in Bohemia, his interview with Maria Theresa and her consort, and his journey back to Egypt via Leghorn. He then tells of his voyage back to Rome, from Alexandria through the Archipelago. The Ethiopian adventure forms the bulk of the whole, and, in view of the scarcity of information about that country, is the underlying reason for the translation of the book. But Prutky's account of Mocha, and the European trading factories there, as well as his description of India and Ceylon as seen during six weeks in Pondicherry, is of no small interest, as is his account of Dupleix's recently completed palace, destoryed in 1761. Both his voyage from Mocha to Pondicherry and his much longer voyage from Pondicherry to France are given added interest by the inclusion of the daily ship's log. The ends with a sad account, not written by Prutky, of his final task as Prefect of the mission in St Petersburg from 1766 to 1769, ending with his expulsion from Russia by Catherine the Great, and his death in Florence immediately afterwards. Condition: Some light rubbing to jacket extremities else a better than very good copy in like jacket.
