Voyages Dans Le Levant, 1749-1752 recounts Fredrik Hasselquist's travels in the Levant. Published posthumously and based on the notes and collections assembled during his journey, this work provides a fascinating glimpse into the flora, fauna, and cultures of the 18th-century Middle East.

Commissioned by Linnaeus, Hasselquist's voyage was undertaken to gather specimens and expand the understanding of natural history. The book details his observations, scientific findings, and personal experiences during his time in the region. This historical travelogue offers invaluable insights into the scientific endeavors of the period and the encounters between European explorers and the people of the Levant, capturing a pivotal moment in the history of exploration and scientific discovery.
