A native of Calabria, he had great professional ambitions in the world of jurisprudence that were frustrated because he lacked aristocratic blood. Abandoning his professional career, he decided to embark on a trip around the world in 1693. His first destinations were Egypt, Constantinople and the Holy Land. He continued on to Persia and Armenia - then a great kingdom - until he reached India, from where he was able to embark for China. There the Jesuits thought he was a spy working for the Pope. This suspicion made many things easier for him along the journey, he got to visit the emperor in Peking and toured the Great Wall of China.\nFrom Macao, Careri sailed to the Philippine Islands and stayed two months in Manila awaiting the departure of the galleon. Careri provides much information about the products that were transported and the profits that the transpacific trade brought to New Spain. The months of the voyage were described in all their harshness: furious storms that caused huge waves, bad food and outbreaks of diseases on the ship that killed a good part of the crew. From Mexico it went to Cuba, and from there to Europe via the fleet of the Indies.\nThe original edition was published in 6 volumes between 1699 and 1700. It was a commercial success, as it had 6 immediate reeditions in Italian. It was translated into English in 1704. This is the first French edition. All of volume 5 deals specifically with the Philippines.\nEngraved emblematic frontispiece, engraved portrait of the author, and 59 engraved plates, including 7 folding.","lot_group":"BOOKS","lot_details_html":null,"alias":null,"hp":110000,"bp":0.2016,"isWithdrawn":0,"accounting_hp":110000,"userBid":6890,"isPaid":0,"userId":22,"lot_status":"SOLD","isDone":1,"bid_history_id":null,"reserve_price":0,"hammer_price":132176,"fav":0},"image":[{"id":48375,"img_url":"https://leongallery.sgp1.digitaloceanspaces.com/v2/auction/97/128/lot/196.jpg","isFeatured":1}]},"increment":[70000,80000,90000,100000,110000,120000,130000,140000,150000,160000,170000,180000,190000,200000,220000,240000,260000,280000,300000,320000,340000,360000,380000,400000,450000,500000,550000,600000,650000,700000,750000,800000,900000,1000000,1100000,1200000,1300000,1400000,1500000,1600000,1700000,1800000,1900000,2000000,2200000,2400000,2600000,2800000,3000000,3200000,3400000,3600000,3800000,4000000,4200000,4400000,4600000,4800000,5000000,5500000,6000000,6500000,7000000,7500000,8000000,8500000,9000000,9500000,10000000,11000000,12000000,13000000,14000000,15000000,16000000,17000000,18000000,19000000,20000000],"prev":195,"next":197,"count_bid":0,"bid_history":[],"tokenExpired":1}
