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 22nd ed. of 1734, usually found with the 10th ed. of v.2-8
