Reise um die Welt 1594

Description

PH: pp. 105-127 published by Schweizer Volks-Buchgemeinde, Luzern
First published in 1594
Originally published in Italian as “Ragionamenti del mio viaggio
intorno al mondo”. The original manuscript of his “Ragionamenti…”,
is lost. A much-polished and heavily edited version of it was published
in 1701; several later Italian editions followed. Recent Italian
scholars and students of Carletti generally have agreed, however,
that a manuscript copy of the “Ragionamenti” in the Biblioteca
Angelica at Rome is closer to the lost original than the 1701 edition
or the later version derived from it.
