Description

Tollot wrote articles for the Journal Helvétique, but this is his only book. He joined the mathematician and astronomer Charles-Marie de La Condamine on his tour to the Levant, 1731-1732, and this is the only published account of their travels. They spent almost a month in Cyprus, which they reached in September 1731. Their stay in Cyprus was full of adventure, including an attempt on their hotelier Gaillotte, whom they protected against the gendarmes.
