Pericla Navarchi Magonis; sive, Expeditio Phoenicia Annis Ante Christum Mille

A veteran seaman narrates a commissioned maritime venture to the western Mediterranean aimed at acquiring rare materials for a royal religious building, recounting voyages from his home ports through island and coastal trade centers, negotiations with foreign merchants, and visits to mineral-rich regions. The account combines sea peril and navigation, ritual observances and oracle consultations, interpersonal rivalries and legal disputes ashore, and episodes involving distant courts and rulers. Interspersed appendices and interpretive notes clarify antiquarian references and archaeological sources that underpin the voyage narrative.
