Histoire générale de la religion des Turcs. Avec la naissance, la vie, & la mort de leur Prophète Mahomet [...].

Sm. 8vo: [70]-[2 bl.]-726-[50] pp. (some lacks on corners, scattered foxing...).

Contemp. overl. vellum, flat spine (spots on cover, pastedowns unglued).

Apparently the 3rd edition (1st ed.: 1625) printed on poor quality paper. With an etched portrait of Mohammed the prophet p. 13. "It is the 3d Baudier's work on Turkey and the Turks, and despite its prejudices it contains the most complete treatment of Islam up to this time in France" (Atabey). Baudier (c. 1589-1645) was historiographer to the Court of France. Ref. Atabey 73-74. - Not in Blackmer. Prov. [Georges Petit].
