As is well known these Relations de ce qui s'est passe en la Nouvelle France were annual reports from the Superiors of the Jesuit Missions in Canada to the Provincials of the order in France. In addition to their distinctly religious portions, they include much first-hand information about the natural resources of the regions described as centers of missionary work; the manners, customs, and language of the Indians; the incessant intertribal wars of the Iroquois and the Canadian Indians; and the zeal and tribulations of the missionary priests.

Eisemann (1890-1972) war ein deutsch-britischer Antiquar. Im Jahr 1921 gründete Eisemann in Frankfurt am Main ein Buch- und Kunstantiquariat. Er war spezialisiert auf mittelalterliche Bilderhandschriften, Rara und Wiegendrucke. Eisemann hatte kein Ladengeschäft und gab auch keine Verkaufskataloge heraus. Er agierte auf Auktionen im Auftrag von Auftraggebern. Er war beteiligt am Aufbau der Bibliothek Schocken in Berlin und an der Bibliotheca Bodmeriana in Genf.
