Pirated Amsterdam edition, following the first and second editions of 1717 and 1718 issued in Paris. This work, based on d'Arvieux's manuscript, was edited by Jean de La Roque (1661-1745), who had made several voyages to the Levant himself. D'Arvieux (1635-1702) lived in the Levant at Seyde from 1653 to 1665 and later settled in Constantinople. In 1679 he was appointed consul at Aleppo, where he remained until his retirement in 1686 to Marseilles. This work gives a detailed account of the religion, customs, diversions, etc. of the Bedouins, and includes the description of d'Arvieux's mission to Mount Carmel in 1664. Also included is a general description of Arabia by Sultan Ishmael Abulfeda (1273-1331), which first appeared in French in this work. Abu'l-Fidaʼ, Sultan of Hamah was a Mamluk-era Kurdish geographer, historian, Ayyubid prince and local governor of Hama.

Röhricht 1112; for the first edition see Atabey 38; Blackmer 50; see Warren Hamilton Lewis, Levantine Adventurer: The Travels and Missions of the Chevalier D'Arvieux, 1653-1697 (1963).

read the fine print
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I really need to learn to read the small print. That pocket line on the chest turned out to be a fake pocket and the actual; zipper on the sleeve is also a fake pocket; my bad but in my defense I'd never dreamed that anyone would put either on a shirt. Also my search term was men's "cotton shirt w/ pocket shirt" and it brought up this polyester wonder. But at least it fits well and seems well made.

High‑style look that feels way more expensive than it is.
Size: X-Large, Color: Orange
Okay, let’s talk about this shirt because I was not expecting to love it as much as I do. The Men’s Long Sleeve Polo Shirt with the quarter‑zip is giving premium designer energy without the designer price tag. From the moment I put it on, the fit was chef’s kiss—slim, clean, and athletic without feeling tight. The fabric has that smooth, high‑end feel you usually only get from brands that make your wallet cry. But here? You’re getting elevated style at a totally reasonable price.
