Giovanni Battista Toderini 1728-1729, Venetian philologist and book collector, accompanied the Garzoni embassy to Constantinople in 1781, remaining there for five years studying Islamic culture. Toderini collected many books and manuscripts, also scientific instruments, many of which are described in these volumes. Volume III contains the first detailed descriptive account of the output of the printing press established at Constantinople by Ibrahim Muteferrika. Toderini is still quoted as an authority on this press by modern bibliographers.€ 300
