Incidents of Travel in Egypt, Arabia Petraea, and the Holy Land

Omtale

American writer and diplomat John Lloyd Stephens (1805–52) was effectively the founder of Mesoamerican archaeology. He had earlier made a two-year journey through the Near East, publishing an expanded account in 1838. Volume 1 begins with Stephens' arrival at Alexandria in Egypt, and ends with a visit to Sinai.
