Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte pendant les annees 1783, 1784 et 1785

The French author and traveller Constantin-Francois de Chasseboeuf (1757-1820) adopted the pen name Volney. In 1783-5, he spent time in Ottoman Egypt and the historical region of Syria. Reissued here is the revised and corrected French second edition of his account, which appeared in two volumes in 1787.
