AN ITINERARY

London: Iohn Beale
1617
(Early English Books Online)
OED uses this work for 1,405 citations! Moryson writes about all of Europe and more.
I haven't finished it, but I'll post the "Ghetto" and "Struddle" (Strudel) that OED did not cite. (See prior ADS-L posts.)
Pg. 21: The River hath foure great water fals, whereof the greatest is at Struddle, eighteene miles from Vienna, which is hardly to be passed, except it be in a floud.
Pg. 88: The Iewes haue a place to dwell in feuerally, called _Il Ghetto_, where each family hath a little house, and all haue one court-yard common, so as they liue as it were in a Colledge, or Almes-house, and may not come forth after the gates are locked at night, and in the day they are bound to weare a yellow cap.
