1609WRCAM38891Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves second part with its own titlepage. Folio. Modern three-quarter morocco and marbled boards spine gilt. A few leaves with worm tracks expertly repaired. Very good. Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601 of this important voyages narrative describing the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes that the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition which has its own titlepage is an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay including word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité.

167712861Amsterdam: Printed by Jacob and Casparus Loots-man Bookseller upon the Water in the Loots-man 1677. Folio 440 by 280mm engraved title 20 engraved charts numerous woodcut charts and coastal profiles within text seventeenth century speckled calf to style spine in seven compartments separated by raised bands gilt. The Lootsman family a surname adopted by the founder of the firm Anthonie or Theunis Jacobsz are one of the less well-known firms of chart makers and publishers working in Amsterdam specialising in pilot books of European coastal waters but who also published a sea atlas of the world. Their output of charts and chart-books deserves to be better known as much of their work was original rather than the slavish copies some of their better-known rivals produced. Dutch chart publishers dominated the European market and by preparing editions in vernacular languages they were able to achieve wide distribution of their output. Most of the Dutch publishers produced English editions of their atlases and pilots and such was the dominance achieved that the Dutch were effectively able to stifle English competitors such as Joseph Moxon and John Seller. But it was the Lootsmans' misfortune to be overshadowed by the larger established firms or newcomers such as van Keulen and their productions often achieved only limited distribution. For example almost all the English editions published by the Lootsmans are located by Koeman in but a single example. It is interesting to compare Seller's early output with this volume and others like it to see the problems that early English publishers faced breaking the Dutch monopoly. This rare work is the first edition preceding the editions cited by Koeman with the title bearing the joint imprint of the brothers Jacob and Caspar Lootsman; whereas Koeman's earliest edition from 1678 bears the sole imprint of Caspar Lootsman. c.f.

He later served as an offer in Danzig and in Hungary and Russia. In 1616 he was appointed by Count John VII of Nassau-Siegen to head up the newly established Kriegsschule the first military academy in the world. The outbreak of the 30 Years War in Germany prematurely caused the school to close. Jacob was one of the most important German military writers before the 30 years war.

Eleven volumes duodecimo the first with four engraved folding plates and all eleven volumes embellished with charming ornamental title-pages; a handsome set in mid eighteenth-century dark panelled calf with original labels. <p><p>Attractively bound set of Cicero in eleven volumes noted as "respectable and correct" by Moss. The title-page boasts that the accuracy of the text arises from the editorial finesse of Dutch classical scholar Jacob Gronovius whose portrait appears as frontispiece to the first volume curiously the English literary lion Thomas Dibdin claimed the editorial attribution to Gronovius was spurious. Jacob Gronovius was the father of botanist Jan Frederik Gronovius correspondent and patron of Carl Linnaeus and the author of a treatise on the native plants and herbs of Virginia.</p> <p>A charming set in an appealing early binding this is a considerable publication continuously paginated for a total of 3611 pages. The folding engraved plates include the detail of an epigraphic tribute to Cicero and numismatic relics relating to the famed Roman orator.</p> </p> . Vander Aa unknown

169617550Amsterdam c1696. 550 by 635mm. 21.75 by 25 inches. Maps""Indiae Orientalis One of only three examples known Engraved map with contemporary hand-colour in full. Rare printing by Jacob de la Feuille 1668-1719 son of Daniel de la Feuille of Nicolas Visscher's 1670 map of Southeast Asia. The map extends to include India Ceylon the Maldives part of China the East Indies the Philippines southern Persia and the northern coast of Australia depicted as """"Hollandia Nova"""". Jacob de Feuille acquired a number of engraved cartographical plates through his marriage in 1696 to Maria de Ram the widow of Johannes de Ram 1648-93 and this map is clearly printed from the same plate as de Ram's map of the same title c1683 with Feuille's name substituted for de Ram's. It is also almost identical to De Wit's 1688 map of the same title. In his imprint de Wit describes the map as """"Editia"""" edited by him whereas both de Ram and Feuille in their imprints attest that the map is """"Auctore"""" authored by them implying that the de Ram / Feuille map precedes de Wit's. De Wit's 'Tabula Indiae Orientalis emendata' of the same area was published in 1662. However Jacob de la Feuille's honour cannot be depended upon. The year following his marriage """"he was already in trouble for he was brought to court accused of having raped his housemaid. A notary act of 1711 registers the complaint of his wife that he left her five years earlier in a poor state and that his present whereabouts were unknown"""" Burden 577.
