A partir de ahí, tras cobrar vida propia, el viaje fue editado en multiples ocasiones durante el s. XVII, al menos en alemán, holandés, francés, italiano e inglés.Al éxito de la obra contribuyó que tanto Olearius como sus traductores y sucesivos editores, al hilo de la breve descripción de su regreso de Persia yendo a la India y regresando a Europa desde ahí en barco por el cabo de Buena Esperanza, fuesen ampliando el contenido añadiendo información tomada de otras fuentes para describir otros territorios de Asia y de las Indias Orientales en los que Mandelslo no había estado, desde China hasta Japón, pasando por Siam o las Islas Filipinas. También estas modificaciones fueron cobrando vida propia hasta convertir el viaje de regreso en una obra completamente distinta y diferente del relato original de la embajada en Moscú y Persia.Las ediciones más completas de los que pasaron a conocerse como los viajes de Mandelslo, especialmente en lo que se refiere a la disposición de múltiples imágenes para ilustrar aquellos lejanos territorios, son las que Pieter Van der Aa imprimió en francés, en Leiden, en 1719. La narrativa original de Mandelslo la publicó como Voyages très curieux et très renommez, faits en Moscovie, Tartarie et Perse, en dos tomos en un volumen, con paginación corrida, en cuyo t tiutlo no aparecía el nombre de Mandelslo. En cambio, paradójicamente, la esencialmente apócrifa narrativa del viaje de Persia a la India con la descripción del este asiático con toda la suma acumulada de descripciones de aquellos territorios tomada de multiples fuentes, la publicó con el título de Voyages celebres & remarquables, faits de Perse. por Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo en otros dos tomos en un volumen, también con paginación corrida.Pero algo sucedió que no hemos sido ca (.).

2 volumes in 1, small folio. (12 1/8 x 7 5/8 inches). Titles printed in red and black. Engraved portrait frontispiece, 44 engraved maps, plans and views (31 folding), 19 in-text engraved illustrations. Contemporary calf, spine with raised bands in seven compartments, red and green morocco lettering pieces in the second and third, the others with a repeat decoration in gilt, marbled endpapers and edges. A lovely copy of a noted illustrated work on Asia, including maps and views of India, China, and Japan. "Johann von Mandelslo was a friend of Adam Olearius and a former page of the Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. Together Mandelslo and Olearius were sent by the Duke on an embassy to the Russian Czar and to the Shah of Persia [for the purpose of initiating trade relations with Russia, Tartary and Persia]. Mandelslo was authorized to leave the embassy in Persia and to continue his travels to the Far East. He went to Surat, Agra, and Goa in India, where he received great kindness from the English merchants, and he also visited Ceylon. He gives long accounts of the other parts of the Far East, which he did not visit personally. His return was made to England by sea via the Cape of Good Hope, which he visited in 1639" (Hill). Mandelslo's narrative contains substantial information on the Far East. "Before his death, Mandelslo had entrusted his rough notes to Olearius, who subsequently published them bound with his numerous official accounts of the embassy" (Howgego). Following the first publication, Olearius added additional information to subsequent editions. A new edition in French translated by Wicquefort included still more additional material, including an account of the travels of Henri de Feynes to China, Formosa and Japan. The present edition published in Amsterdam in 1727 is a re-issue of the Van der Aa edition of 1719 (published in Leiden); both are celebrated as the best editions, being the most complete and with the largest number of illustrations. The plates include views and plans of London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Antwerp, Capetown, Goa, Surat, Jedo (Tokyo), St. Helena, Mauritius, Madagascar, the Canary Islands, Java, Congo and elsewhere.

Brunet IV, 178; Cordier, Japonica, 367-68; Cordier, Sinaca 2077; Lust 342 Jean Albert Mandeslo set out in 1636 with the Embassy that the Duke of Holstein sent to Russia and Persia. He visited India, Ceylon, Madagascar, West Africa (Congo), and returned four years later. His story gives a very vivid picture of luxury, vices, curiosity and absolute disregard for life under the despotic tyranny of the Moghul Empire under Shah Jahan. In the port of Surat he arrived in April 1638 after he went to Ahmedabad and Agra. Although his observations of life in the capital are useful, he apparently did not hear anything about the Taj Mahal, which at that time was in the sixth year of building.
