Read all about the fascinating journey of the Polish Count Waclaw Rzewuski and discover the world of the early 19th century Middle East through his famous manuscript. The count travelled from Aleppo into the Arab Peninsula, all along displaying a keen interest in the Bedouins’ traditions and way of life, about which he wrote in his work, that included over 400 full-colour drawings. The facsimile of the manuscript is published in three leather- bound illuminated volumes. This edition includes two volumes of the handwritten manuscript, with notes and illustrations as marginalia, and a complete album of the author’s illustrations, maps and musical notations.
