Collected by Melchisédec Thévenot, who signs the dedication, pt. 1, p. [5], 1st count
This is the 1664 issue of Thévenot's Relations, which consists of parts1 and 2. There is really only one edition of Thévenot's Relations, issued in five parts between 1663 and 1696. Part 1 was first issued in 1663, part 2 in 1664, part 3 in 1666, part 4 during 1672-1674, and part 5 in 1696. During the course of publication the parts of the collection already published were reissued with new title pages in 1664, 1666, 1672, 1683, and 1696. Some sheets were reprinted for these reissues. The contents and arrangement of individual copies vary. For a detailed description of all five parts, their collation and variants, see Contributions to a catalogue of the Lenox Library no. III. The voyages of Thévenot by James Lenox
