‎A nice set of the fifteenth edition of this work, being a collection of fictitious letters containing observations on contemporary European affairs by an Ottoman agent in Paris. The first edition of this work began publication in 1684 when a volume in Italian titled ""L'esploratore turco"" and a French version entitled ""L'espion du grand seigneur"" were published in Paris by C. Barbin. Authorship is disputed, but it is generally agreed that the first fifty letters (the original four volumes)--were written by Marana. Barbier ascribes two volumes which appeared in 1696 under title, ""Suite de L'espion turc"", to C. Cotolendi. (Barbier. Dictionnaire des ouvrages anonymes, v. 2, col. 176-178).‎
