Maulde, François de (Modius); for the adventures of this learned
Fleming (1556-97) mainly in Germany, see two articles by A.
Roersch in the Revue Générale. May & June, 1907, based on his MS.
autobiography at Munich. [Also P. Lehmann's "Franciscus Modius als
Handschriftenforscher," 1908, in Quellen und Untersuchungen zur
lateinischen Philologie des Mittelalters, III, 1.]
=Montaigne=, Michel de. English translation of his Journal by W. G.
Waters, 1903. [Latest edition of the text edited by L. Lautrey,
Paris, 1906.]
*D'Ancona's edition (Città di Castello, 1889: 2nd ed. 1895) contains
an excellent critical bibliography concerned with foreigners'
travel in Italy.
=Moryson=, Fynes, published his "Itinerary" in 1617 in a form that
has proved the equivalent of a burial. A fine reprint, the
only one, was issued in 1907, in a series which includes other
travel records of this period. The better part of what Moryson
himself left unprinted appeared under the editorship of C. Hughes
under the title "Shakespeare's Europe" in 1903. See also under
"Falkiner."
*Mundy, Peter. For his travels in European Europe (1608-28) see
Hakluyt Soc., Series II, vol. 17, to which a useful bibliography
of MSS. & printed works is appended. A second volume will be
partly concerned with northern Europe.
Possevino, the Jesuit, besides his "Moscovia" (1587) wrote letters to
his superiors while engaged on his mission thither (1581-82), as
did his brother-Jesuit Campan. A contemporary digest of these
letters was printed by Father Pierling (Paris, 1882) under the
title "Missio Moscovitica." In the editor's other books on the
relations between the Tsars & the Popes will be found indications
of other travellers, notably in his "L'Italie et la Russie."
*Röhricht, R., "Bibliographia Geographica Palæstinæ," (2nd edition,
1890) a chronological bibliographical list of all accounts of
visits to Palestine
and
*"Deutsche Pilgerreisen nach dem Heiligen Lande" (2nd edition, 1900),
another work of extraordinary research, giving the names of every
German whom the author has found to have visited Jerusalem between
1300 & 1700, with an account of the journey whenever remarkable.
To a 26-page introduction are appended 377 notes, with an enormous
number of detailed bibliographical references, a large proportion
of which are to MSS. located all over Europe.
*Rye, W. B. "England As Seen By Foreigners in the Days of Queen
Elizabeth & James I," 1865. Annotated extracts prefaced by a long
and valuable introduction containing all that has since become, in
England, the commonplaces of the subject. In view of this latter
fact, I have quoted as exclusively as is reasonable from writers
whom Rye overlooked or who visited England outside the dates
within which Rye confined himself.
