Published in 1735, this first edition of Samuel Johnson's translation of Portuguese Jesuit Jerónimo Lobo's "A Voyage to Abyssinia" is a harrowing account, both "curious and entertaining," of Lobo's misadventures in an effort to convert Abyssinians to orthodox Catholicism.

This 17th-century work is a unique work of both travel and religious writing where Father Lobo describes the nine years he spent in Abyssinia as a missionary.
