Johann Michael Wansleben’s Travels in the Levant,1671-1674, is an account of the travels in Syria, Turkey and Egypt by one of the best known scholar-travellers of his day who collected manuscripts and antiquities and made some major archaeological discoveries.

Johann Michael Wansleben’s Travels in the Levant, 1671–1674 is a hitherto unpublished version of a remarkable description of Egypt and the Levant by the German scholar traveller Wansleben, or Vansleb (as he was known in France). He set out for the East in 1671 to collect
manuscripts and antiquities for the French king and also produced the best study of the Copts to have appeared to date. This book recounts his travels in Syria, Turkey and Egypt, his everyday life in Cairo, and his anthropological and archeological discoveries which include the Graeco-Roman Ǧabbārī cemetery in Alexandria, the Roman city of Antinopolis on the Nile, the Coptic monastery of St Anthony on the Red Sea and the Red and White monasteries in Upper Egypt.

Alastair Hamilton, Ph.D. (1982), Cambridge, is Senior Research Fellow at the Warburg Institute, London University. He has published monographs and articles on relations between Europe and the Arab world, including The Copts and the West 1439-1822 (2006, 2nd.ed. 2014).
