Halliwell, J.O. (Ed.)
Published by Edward Lumley 1839
8vo. (235x150x25mm), original green cloth covers stamped in gold and blind, frontispiece, title, introduction, contents, editor's preface, text 326pp. + 2pp publ. Adverts, v. slight tears at top of spine, occasional foxing but mostly a very clean copy. Reprint of the 1725 edition with 14thC. b&w illustrations. Still disputed in some circles as to how far Maundeville travelled, but apparantly Leonardo da Vinci had a copy, Columbus consulted it, as did Frobisher.
