Lucas was a merchant, naturalist, doctor and antiquary with a flair for discovering antiquities and manuscri pts. His accounts of his voyages often border on the fabulous ... but his works convey the colour and piquancy of the East, tempered by the editor's classical erudition, form and quotations. His was the first work to spread a knowledge of Egypt and Persia at the beginning of the 18th century" (Blackmer 1036 zur EA .).
