In all, some ten letters from Desideri's hand were in existence, although the
one quoted above seems to be the only one of geographical importance.¹ In 1875,
however, a manuscript of 630 pages in small folio, was discovered in Pistoia, Desi-
deri's native town in Italy. It has the title: Breve e succinto ragguaglio del viaggio

left Kashmir on May 17th 1715 and went over a very high and snowy moun-
tain, Kantel,⁴ the Zoji-la of our days, and on 30th of May, entered the Primo
