1666 An Account of the Present War Between the Venetians and Turk... Castlemaine
$199.99
1st edition, 1666 Account of the Present War between the Venetians and Turk; with the state of Candie. Unfortunately, this copy is missing the two maps (one of Candie, the other of the Mediterranean). Still, somewhat scarce to market; at the time of listing there are no other copies appearing using Vialibri.
During the Earl of Castlemaine's European tour, the King asked him to report back on the war at Candie. He did so, and on returning to England he was given permission to print his findings. They were Britain's primary source on the war.
The September 24, 2020 Dominic Winter auction sold a copy with maps for 1000 pounds (Lot 0210).
