*Saint-Genois, J. L. D. "Les Voyageurs Belges." 2 vols. 1846.
Biographies, in several cases drawing on MS. sources.
=Sastrow=, Bartholomew. [Latest (modernized) edition of the text of
his autobiography, vol. 2 of Schultze's "Bibliothek Wertvoller
Memoiren," Hamburg, 1907.] An English translation, by A. Vandam,
exists under the title of "Social Germany in Luther's Time."
Sastrow's journeys, however, reached as far as Rome.
*Serrano y Sanz, M., "Autobiografías y Memorias" 1905, a volume of
the Nueva Biblioteca de Autores Españoles. The long introduction
on Spanish autobiographies mentions many travellers of whose
accounts I have been able to make practically no use owing to my
not knowing of the book in time (see pp. 49, 50, 62, 63, 86, 89,
94, 97 (2), 109, 123, 124, 125, 142, 148; and bibliography of
Jerusalem pilgrims' accounts, 55-58). Several of these, however,
exist only in MS. in Spain. Great Britain & Scandinavia receive
little attention, but plenty of valuable material seems to be
included for every other part of Europe; certainly this is so in
the narratives (16th-17th centuries) which the author prints.
Sobieski, Jakób, Marshal of the Polish Diet, travelled throughout
Europe (1607-13 & 1638). An incomplete MS. was printed by E.
Raczynski (Posen, 1833) & the missing portion by A. Kraushar
(Warsaw, 1903) from the autograph at the Imperial Library at St.
Petersburg. The only part that seems to have been translated is
that relating to Spain, in Liske's "Viajes de Extranjeros por
España" (a book, by the way, that no one who is interested in 16th
century history can fail to be assisted by).
*[Szamota, István, "Régi utazások Magyarországon és a
Balkán-félszigeten, 1054-1717" ("Travellers of the past in Hungary
and the Balkans, 1054-1717") Budapest, 1891.]
Taylor, John (the "water-poet"). Both his continental journeys—one
to Hamburg, the other viâ Hamburg to Prague—have been reprinted
by C. Hindley in Taylor's "Works" & also by the Spenser Soc.
(vol. 4, pp. 76-100): that to Hamburg only, in Hindley's
"Old-Book-Collector's Miscellany."
