One of the great accounts of travel in Asia printed in today´s China, the only Sino-European secular book to have been printed in Macao in the 18th century.
Very rare first edition of this account of Antonio de Albuquerque Coelho’s (1682-1745) eventful journey from Goa to Macao in 1717-1718, in many ways the first of its kind, and the only Sino-European secular book to have been printed in Macao in the 18th century. The Jornada is one of the mere 11 books printed in Macao between 1662 and 1718, and as aforementioned, the only one of a secular nature.
