Scarce first edition, only published in 200 copies by The Danish Royal Society. This splendid work communicated the results of the remarkable Egypt-expedition undertaken in 1737-38. It is the most extensive description of Egypt's monuments, ruins, temples etc. since the times of Herodotus, as there had been only few travellers or written descriptions since classical times. An anecdote tells that Napoleon, before his expedition to Egypt, pointed to these two folio-volumes in order to encourage his staff of scientists and artists. The plates are excellent in their detail and execution, engraved by the skillful artist and engraver Marcus Tuscher in collaboration with the author, who died before the work went to press. They depict landscapes, monuments, ruins etc., as well as maps. The fine portrait of Norden is engraved by J.M. Preisler.
