The author, a German in the service of the king of Denmark, was the sole survivor of a group of five who traveled through Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula in 1761 to 1763. This version is an abridged translation by Robert Heron of Reisebeschreibung nach Arabien und andern umliegenden Ländern (Copenhagen: N. Möller, 1774-78).
