Pirated Amsterdam edition, following the first and second editions of 1717 and 1718 issued in Paris. This work, based on d'Arvieux's manuscript, was edited by Jean de La Roque (1661-1745), who had made several voyages to the Levant himself. D'Arvieux (1635-1702) lived in the Levant at Seyde from 1653 to 1665 and later settled in Constantinople. In 1679 he was appointed consul at Aleppo, where he remained until his retirement in 1686 to Marseilles. This work gives a detailed account of the religion, customs, diversions, etc. of the Bedouins, and includes the description of d'Arvieux's mission to Mount Carmel in 1664. Also included is a general description of Arabia by Sultan Ishmael Abulfeda (1273-1331), which first appeared in French in this work. Abu'l-Fidaʼ, Sultan of Hamah was a Mamluk-era Kurdish geographer, historian, Ayyubid prince and local governor of Hama.

Röhricht 1112; for the first edition see Atabey 38; Blackmer 50; see Warren Hamilton Lewis, Levantine Adventurer: The Travels and Missions of the Chevalier D'Arvieux, 1653-1697 (1963).

Finally, socks that fit and are comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: White
I wear size 12.5 Wide shoes and have been through numerous "large" socks that shrink after the first wash and then are just too small. Local stores sell very few options in XL. Decided to give these a try and I'm glad I did. I like the height (just over the ankle joint) versus low cut or no-show, which tend to allow junk into the gaps. I like the material. It's thinner on top nd doesn't have compression areas. It's not overly thick, so if you are looking for cushion or extra support, look elsewhere. I have the same sock in a no-show in gray, but they are size L and are just a little too small, so I knew ahead what I was in for construction-wise. Those have been plenty durable, so it checks all the boxes. I'll be ordering some XLs in black and will keep on the lookout for gray.

Great socks / a bit expensive
Size: Large, Color: Black
These may be the Goldilocks of the socks I've tried. They have nearly the same quality as the MUCH pricier Darn Tough Vertex Ultralight Cushion Cool Max socks (also reviewed). They have better quality, and a higher price, than a similar pair of PUMA socks (also reviewed). Pros: Very well made, with no loose stitching, comfortable forefoot and heel cushioning, good ventilation via top mesh, good arch compression, minimal logos and mostly solid color. Cons: Price is a bit on the high side, but better than the Darn Tough socks. I could honestly have made a good case for any of these three (ASICS, PUMA, or Darn Tough), which explains their collective high ratings. I did the top 3 reviews first. When I get a chance, I'll go back and review the average and terrible :) If money is no object, get the Darn Tough Vertex. If you're price sensitive, and willing to compromise a bit on quality, go with the PUMAs, which is what I did. Otherwise, these ASICS are near the same quality as the Darn Tough, but less expensive. Tough decisions :)
