[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

PARROT, Dr. Friedrich (translated by W. D. Cooley). /JOURNEY TO ARARAT/. 
Bound in original blind-stamped brown cloth with gilt lettering, with 
folding map and woodcuts. Longman, Brown, Green; London. 1845. 1st 
edition, 8vo, pp. xii, 375. Rear board a bit sunned. Boards bumped, 
scuffed & a bit soiled. Top half inch of spine pulled. Now repaired. 
Hinges cracking. Contents clean: good plus condition.

First published in German, in 1834, this is an account of the first 
ascent of Mt. Ararat, and the exploration of its environs (see Neate 
599). Mt. Ararat, at 16,873 feet, was considered unclimable due to the 
ice cone surrounding it. It is the mountain referred to in the Bible 
(Gen 8:4) upon which Noah's ark is said to have come to rest, and is 
part of the Armenian ridge, in the easternmost part of Turkey, adjacent 
to the Armenian border. The folding map is creased, and a bit ragged at 
the edges but is not foxed and otherwise in very good condition. 
Thirty-two page publisher's catalogue at end dated October, 1846.
