Jan Potocki, best known today as the author of “The Manuscript Found in Saragossa”, was also one of the first Polish travellers to describe the East from his own experience. In 1784 he sailed across the Black Sea to Constantinople and went on to Egypt. He published his account in French as “Voyage en Turquie et en \u00c9gypte, fait en l’ann\u00e9e 1784” (1788), and an anonymous Polish translation appeared in Warsaw in 1789.<\/p>\n
This is the Krak\u00f3w edition of 1849, printed by D. E. Friedlein. It was prepared by \u017begota Pauli, librarian and secretary to Adam Potocki, the author’s grandson, who added a note on Jan Potocki’s life and a list of his works. The edition opens with the publisher’s printed dedication to Count Adam Potocki, member of the Krak\u00f3w Learned Society and deputy to the Austrian Imperial Diet. Scholars attribute the translation to Julian Ursyn Niemcewicz.<\/p>\n
