Description

First edition under this title, uncommon, attributed to Vezien by Barbier. An anonymous work published by Fonseca the same year under the title Nouveau voyage de l’Egypte contains a dedicatory letter to Roüillé. The two works are the same; Vezien’s work also takes the form of a letter to Roüillé. The journey described in this work took place in 1700. Vezien, who may have been a merchant, described an audience in Constantinople with the French ambassador Ferriol.
