Letters writ by a Turkish spy [[electronic resource] ] : who lived five and forty years, undiscovered, at Paris : giving an impartial account to the Divan at Constantinople, of the most remarkable transactions of Europe, and discovering several intrigues and secrets of the Christian courts, (especially of that of France) from the year 1637, to the year 1682 / / written originally in Arabick, first translated into Italian, afterwards into French, and now into English

• Note generali: The first edition of this work began publication in 1684, when a volume in Italian entitled "L'esploratore Turco" and a French version entitled "L'esplou du grand seigneur" were published in Paris by C. Barbin. Authorship is disputed, but it is generally agreed that the first fifty letters (the original four volumes) were written by Marana. In the English editions, v. 1 contains the substance of the letters commonly ascribed to Marana. The continuation (i.e. v. 2-8), said to have appeared first in English, has been variously ascribed to Robert Midgley and William Bradshaw; Bradshaw has also been attributed as the translator (from Marana's Italian manuscripts) of the entire work under Dr. Midgley's editorship.
