1628376954Frankfurt 1628. First editions. 13 parts bound in 3 volumes. 290 engraved maps and plates. Detailed collations below. 3 vols. Folio. Modern calf covers bordered in blind spine with raised bands in six compartments ruled in blind and decorated and lettered in gilt. Some maps expertly repaired some leaves expertly remargined some leaves maps variably toned and supplied. First editions. 13 parts bound in 3 volumes. 290 engraved maps and plates. Detailed collations below. 3 vols. Folio. A first edition set of the Petit Voyages of De Bry one of the grandest collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery. This series of voyages issued concurrently with the same publisher's "Grand Voyages" primarily devoted to the Americas comprises the greatest single collection of early voyages to the East Indies and holds a wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India America South Asia and the Middle East including the first Latin translation of Gasparo Balbi's travelogue Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali.<br /> <br /> The present set the first Latin editions is virtually complete lacking only the two maps to Part XII so rare that even Church lacked them; he also lacked much of the text of Part XII present here. Indeed Part XII and the Appendix to Part I are so rare as to be virtually unobtainable both issued by a different publisher in 1628 and 1625 respectively long after the rest of the series had been disseminated. <br /> <br /> Two parts warrant specific note for their importance in the historiography of the Arabian Peninsula. Part VII includes the Middle East travelogue of Gasparo Balbi 1550-1623 the Venetian state jeweller and merchant "the first writer to record the place names between al-Qatif and Oman that are still in use today" Geoffrey R. King "The Coming of Islam and the Islamic Period in the UAE" United Arab Emirates A New Perspective 2001 p. 74. This constitutes the earliest printed source for the place names along the coast of the UAE Qatar and Oman. It was first published in 1590 as Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali making this the second time it appeared in print and the first Latin translation. Balbi's account contains much information for merchants including rates of exchange duties travel routes distances and pearling grounds.<br /> <br /> The first Dutch trading expedition to the East Indies from 1595 to 1597 led by Cornelius de Houtman forms Part III. The comprehensive map Descriptio Hydrographica accommodata ad Battavorum navigatione in Javam insulam Indiae orien first published in 1599 shows Houtman's route and includes the Arabian Peninsula in its entirety with numerous places identified along the coast.<br /> <br /> Many of the maps and plates from the work are highly prized individually which has contributed to copies being disassembled and consequently copies are often found lacking maps or plates. The bibliographical understanding of this work is extremely complex thus discrepancies within references are often found. However remarkably the collations of the parts in the present set largely agree with those given in Church for the first Latin editions of each part.<br /> <br /> The Petit Voyages comprise probably the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies and are unique in their extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India the Spice Islands and South Asia. The De Brys' intention as publishers to present an illustrated record sets them apart from other textual voyage collections such as Ramusio or Hakluyt. They are a cornerstone of any serious library of travels and voyages<br /> <br /> A summary of the parts and their contents: <br /> <br /> Part I VERA DESCRIPTIO REGNI AFRICANI 1598.

162740628Frankfurt 1627. 15 1/8 x 12 7/16. Copper engraved map. Uncoloured on laid paper. The first Modern European map of India.<br/> <br/> Copper engraved map of modern-day India Pakistan and Bangladesh published by Wilhelm Fitzer the successor to Johann Theodor de Bry 1561-1623 and Johann Israel de Bry 1565-1609 the sons of Theodor de Bry. This version of the map includes the original Mughal seal with its contents in Persian Script. The map is closely related to that of William Baffin its use of original script in Jahangir's dynastic seal in the upper right precludes the De Bry edition having been derived directly from the printed Baffin map. Baffin is widely understood to be the author of the manuscript map on which the printed map is based having prepared it for Sir Thomas Roe's 1617 geographical commpendium on India. Susan Gole in Early Maps of India lists six states or editions of the Baffin map of India but did not record the present version. A comparison of this edition with the original Baffin and Purchas edition suggests that the Purchas was followed most closely with some material changes to toponyms such as "The Gate" having been replaced by "Porta Suretana". The map appears in the very rare Volume XII the penultimate volume of De Bry's "Petite" Voyages which was first published in 1627.<br/> <br/> Susan Gole Early Maps of India refers. unknown
1606K8NDD6WJMUR8Frankfurt: Wolfgang Richter 1606. 20th-century half green morocco title in gold on spine marbled sides and endpapers. Folio 32.5 x 20 cm. With the letterpress title within an engraved architectural border an individual letterpress title-page for the Icones an engraved coat of arms on the dedication leaf 20 engravings in text and 2 double-page engraved plates. First edition of the Latin translation of book seven of Théodore de Bry's Petits voyages the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies which is considered unique in its extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material. Crucially this much-sought volume includes Gasparo Balbi's groundbreaking account of the Middle East first published in 1590 as Viaggio dell' Indie Orientali - a mere 16 years before this present edition making this the second appearance in print altogether and the first Latin translation. Balbi a Venetian jewel merchant travelled extensively in the Arabian Peninsula in search of precious stones. From Venice he sailed for Aleppo proceeding to Bir and from there overland to Baghdad descending the Tigris to Basra where he embarked for India. While in the Persian Gulf he studied the pearl industry noting that the best pearls were to be found at Bahrain and Julfar. He refers to islands in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi including Sir Bani Yas and Das and to several coastal settlements that were to become permanently established such as Dubai and Ras al Khaima. Balbi was the first to record the place names along the coast of modern Qatar the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Practically "none of the names of places on the coast between Qatar and Ras al Khaima occur in other sources before the end of the eighteenth century" Slot. The volume also comprises the account of Joris von Spilbergen's voyage to Ceylon in 1601-1604 with excellent plates.A note with red pencil on the second leaf browned some small spots otherwise in good condition.l Brunet I col. 1334; cf.
