Condición: Neu. Mira et iucunda varietate seculi huius mores ita exprimentia, vt Sedalitatum Symbolus Insigniisque conseribendis & depingendis perac-commoda sint. [.] Weltliche lustige newe Kunststueck/ der jetzigen Weltlauff fürbildende/ mit artlichen Lateinischen/ Teutschen/ Frantzösischen und Niderländischen Carminibus und Reimen geziert/ fast dienstlich zu einem zierlichen Stamm und Wapenbuechlein. Reprint der Ausgabe Oppenheim 1611. Mit einem Nachwort von Cornelia Kemp. Mit ihren emblematischen Stammbüchern schufen der aus Lünich stammende Goldschmied, Kupferstecher und Verleger Theodor de Bry und seine Söhne ab 1592 einen völlig neuartigen Typ des Emblembuches. Hiermit reagierten sie auf die seit der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts vor allem an den Universitäten verbreitete Sitte, Widmungen von Freunden und Gönnern in einem Album zusammenzutragen. Da die de Bry in ihren Stammbuchdrucken vornehmlich als Reproduktionsstecher arbeiteten, liegt der besondere Reiz vor allem in den Illustrationen, die eine Fülle neuartiger Motive in das Genre des Emblembuches übernehmen. Mit den Emblemata Secularia von 1611 erreicht die Frühzeit des gedruckten Emblem-Stammbuches ihren Höhepunkt. 56,[146],32* Seiten mit zahlreichen Wappenkartuschen und Emblemen, Leinen (Emblematisches Cabinet/Olms Verlag 1994).

Hardcover. 1st eds. 4 parts [or volumes] now bound in 2 volumes, [of the 12 parts or volumes which constitute de Bry's "Petits Voyages" on travels, mostly to the East Indies and elsewhere in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, all of which were published between 1598 and 1628]. Later leather, probably 19th or early 20th century, with joints tender and the appearance of modest loss of leather. Armorial bookplate (Henry Howard of Graystoke) in both volumes as well as a later small nameplate ("EHH") mounted on both bookplates. At some point the text and plates in these volumes were carefully and painstakingly repaired and reconstructed leaf by leaf from a damaged copy. A large percentage of the leaves have been trimmed, mounted, remargined, etc. with some loss of text or portions of illustrations. The result is a serviceable copy with all illustrations and text appearing to be there (often with some loss though not enough to say that anything is completely missing. Pencil notes on verso of free endpaper in first volume indicate that these volumes were purchased by the former owner from Blackwell's in Oxford in 1968. Latin text. Fair (because of all the repairs, trimming and reconstruction.).

This volume was the first issued by the publisher, Theodor De Bry, in his extraordinary series, "Grand Voyages," which set out to describe the exploration of the New World. This copy includes a variant title: Church does not mention an issue of the title with letterpress slips pasted in position, but the engraved surround corresponds most closely to Church's third issue. This work recounts the history of the abortive Roanoke colony established by the British in North Carolina in 1585. Thomas Hariot's text, describing the country of Virginia and North Carolina, was first published in London in 1588 (only six copies are known) and here republished in Latin. Hariot, like the artist, John White, was part of the Roanoke expedition and wrote his account from actual observation. It is the first description of the Virginia and Carolina country. The map which accompanies the volume is the first really good map of the Virginia coast and Carolina capes, showing the coast from the mouth of the Chesapeake to Wilmington, North Carolina. John White's illustrations are among the most famous of early American images. White was the lieutenant-governor of the colony, and a skilled artist. His carefully executed watercolors, gleaned from close observation and remarkably accurate renderings of the Carolina Indians and their customs, costumes, rituals, hunting practices and dwellings, are here expertly engraved by De Bry. No other artist so-carefully rendered American Indians until Karl Bodmer worked on the Missouri in the 1830s. Besides these illustrations, there are plates showing White's conception of the ancient Picts of Scotland, to whom he wished to compare the American natives. Cf. Arents 37; cf.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. 2 parts in one volume. Folio, 30 cm. Elegantly bound in modern full red levant moroccan, raised bands, all edges gilt, gilt rule. Fine binding. Engraved vignette on general title; [8], 127 pp, [1]; [1], 26 leaves of half-page engraved illustrations. Occasional light browning. Marginal dampstaining to final 20 text pages in first part. Minor spotting in second part (plates). First edition, first issue of the sixth volume of de Bry's Little Voyages. This volume covers the first-hand account of Pieter de Marees's first Dutch expedition to Guinea, 1600-01. Pieter de Marees' history of Guinea, originally published in 1602, is one of the earliest detailed European descriptions of West African society and an essential reference for the precolonial period. De Marees wrote primarily about the Gold Coast (Ghana), but his work also covers Cape Verde (Senegal). This work he "discusses the Slave Coast and the Portuguese participation in the traffic". (Postma, The Dutch in the Atlantic Slave Trade, 1600-1815, p. 13). These trade ties would drive European interest in the region leading to the propagation of the Slave Trade. Brunet 1338.

With original blank leaves K4 and G6. 19th-century half brown morocco gilt (extremities worn). Provenance: With the ink library stamp of Sion College on the verso of each plate. Second edition, first published in 1596. Being the concluding part of Benzoni's account of his fifteen years of travel in the Isthmus of Panama and Guatemala first published in Venice in 1565: "It was [written] at the time when the controversy concerning the treatment of the Indians was hottest, and a work, written by one who had just returned from the New World after a stay of fifteen years could not fail to attract attention. In writing it, no standard of criticism was applied; this was not in the spirit of the times. The ultra-philanthropists found Benzoni a welcome auxiliary, and foreign nations, all more or less leagued against Spain for the sake of supplanting its mastery of the Indies, eagerly adopted his extreme statements and sweeping accusations" (Catholic Encyclopedia). Sion College was founded by the bequest of the wealthy Thomas White (1550-1624), who also built a hospital in Temple in Bristol, provided scholarships to Magdalen Hall, funded a lectureship at St Paul's in London, bequeathed his folio and Latin books to St George's Chapel, Windsor, and donated to the city of Bristol money for the improvement of roads and other municipal purposes. The library grew with the help of many small donors including Matthew Forster's gift in 1646 of Caxton's first book "The Recuyell of the Histories of Troye", printed at Bruges in 1474-75. Another early bequest was from the library of Walter Travers (1548? - 1635), puritan divine which included a Mercator Atlas. However the College buildings and a third of the books were lost in the Great Fire of 1666. Church 160; Sabin 8784; Stephen Wright for DNB. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

ENGRAVED PLATE FROM VOLUME III OF DE BRY'S 'LITTLE VOYAGES' OF THE EAST INDIES Documenting Linschoten's Voyages (Contined from Vol. II), Cornelis de Houtman's Voyage to the East Indies (1595-1597), and Gerrit de Veer's Journal of Three Dutch voyages to reach the East Indies by the North (1594- 1597). WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EARLY 17TH-CENTURY GERMAN HAND-COLORING, HEIGHTENED IN GOLD. On August 31, 1595, during his second voyage in search of Asia, Barents called at the southern coast of Vaygach, Samoyed land. There they encountered "savages". We see two of them, called Samoyeds or Samoyedes, depicted here fully decked out in their weaponry. According to the account of Gerrit de Veer, who documented the journey, the Dutch approached the savages, prompting one of the latter to pick up a bow and arrow. Just in time the Dutch interpreter cried out in Russian "Don't shoot! We're friends." The man who heard this threw his bow and arrow on the ground and called out "You are welcome." Gerrit de Veer describes the Samoyeds as short in stature, with broad, flat faces, small eyes and short legs pointing outwards. According to De Veer the "savages" were extremely agile at running and jumping, and did not trust foreign peoples. They dressed in elk hides from head to toe, except for the most prominent men, who bedecked their heads with colored textile and fur. They wore their hair in a braid down their backs. This can be seen on the man on the left, where we see a braid emerging from below the head covering. De Veer also said that they caught whales, boiled the whale oil, caught and flayed seals and sacrificed reindeer to their idols. He reported that their sleds were always at the ready, with one or two deer hitched, which could hastily drive off with one or two men aboard the sled. We see this tableau in the background as well. In the midst of the crowd we see a Dutchman who is demonstrating his musket as he aims at a piece of rock that he has placed on a little hill. The people were so frightened that they ran away in panic. Translation of text below engraved image: Title: XLI. Actual description of the wild so-called Inuit. 6. Text: Those people named Inuit, we found on solid ground territory in the so-called place Waygat/ looking like savages/ when we began talking to them/ they presented themselves/ as proper and awe-inspiring people/ their stature is small/ with a wide and flat face/ small eyes/ their knees point outwards of the legs/ they wear long hair/ in braids/ bound together in the back. Their clothing is raw pelt/ which they wear from head to toe/ they had their sleds with them/ and two reindeer harnessed on each one/ that were so fast with one or two passengers in them/ that no horse could keep up.

ENGRAVED PLATE FROM VOLUME III OF DE BRY'S 'LITTLE VOYAGES' OF THE EAST INDIES Documenting Linschoten's Voyages (Contined from Vol. II), Cornelis de Houtman's Voyage to the East Indies (1595-1597), and Gerrit de Veer's Journal of Three Dutch voyages to reach the East Indies by the North (1594- 1597). WITH THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF EARLY 17TH-CENTURY GERMAN HAND-COLORING, HEIGHTENED IN GOLD. The illustration shows four different types of vessel in the harbor of the trading town of Bantam on the northwestern tip of Java. The vessel on the left, with the high running aft and the two yards is called a iuncos in the journal, which is also called Junk, after the Javanese word Djong. Left we see a Chinese Junk. In the rear, there is a proa with a bowed prow and aft, used by the Javanese for trade along the coast. The foreground shows a proa with double outriggers. The Dutch called them 'kites', because they seemed to skim across the water so fast, it seemed as if they were flying. Translation of text below engraved image: Title: XXVIII. Shown are four kinds of ships/ which the Bantamese use. Text: The Indians have another four kinds of ships/ the one kind is big with two masts and sails. The other kind is slightly smaller/ so that they can transfer/ the wares from one place to another. The third kind are very small fishing boats/ which are so fast/ as if they could fly/ that's why we call them the flying. The ships sails are woven out of weed/ and are very popular in Bantam/ several are also made from leaves of the trees/ they also use pipes for the boat/ they don't have a back rudder/ they just use a hand paddle on each side/ which they can handle very skillfully. Size: 11 1/2" x 7 1/2".
