Note

V.1 is a translation of 'L'Esploratore turco .. ' by G. P. Marana originally published in Paris in 1684; subsequent volumes have been variously attributed, but were probably edited by Robert Midgley from William Bradshaw's translation of the original Italian MS.

The title is transcribed from the general titlepage in v.1 of the 21st ed. of 1730, usually found with the 9th ed. of v.2-8

Vols. 2-3 printed by William Bowyer; his records show 1250 copies printed (of these and v. 1 of the 21st edition).
