The account of M. THEVENOT’s first journey was published in Paris in 1655. The second and third parts were posthumously published in 1674 and 1684. This is the first English edition and collects all three parts. A collected French edition appeared in 1689.

THEVENOT began his travels in the LEVANT in 1655, returning to Paris in 1659 to prepare the first part of his description of his journeys for publication, which describe Constantinople, Archipelago, Asia Minor and Egypt. He left Paris in 1663 and travelled through Syria and Persia to India, dying near Tabriz in 1667.
