The report consists of a letter written to the Abbé Pecoil in Lyon, signed by Babin and edited and published by Jacob Spon in 1674. Pecoil desired from Babin a description of the city as it then appeared. In the same year, 1674, Spon undertook his voyage to the Levant. His travel report was published in 1678 ("Voyage d’Italie, de Dalmatie, de Grece et du Levant, fait aux années 1675 et 1676"). Spons edition of Babin’s work was basic to his archaeological formation and to the elaboration of his classification system for the study of archaeology (see FONTES 38). contributor: Davis, Margaret Daly date: 2009 type: Book type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book type: NonPeerReviewed identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/791/ format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdokhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/artdok/791/1/Daly_Davis_Fontes39.pdf identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-artdok-7918 rights: info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess language: mul
