SOLORZANO PEREIRA Juan deMareMagnum

De iusta indiarum occidentalium inquisitione, acquisitione & retentione

- Ex typographia Francisco Martinez, Matriti (Madrid) 1629, petit in-folio (20x29,5cm), (6) 751pp. (100), relié. - SOLÓRZANO PEREIRA Juan de De iusta indiarum occidentalium inquisitione, acquisitione & retentione Ex typographia Francisco Martinez, Matriti (Madrid) 1629, small in-folio (20 x 29,5 cm), (6) 751 pp. (100), contemporary vellum First edition, very rare. A very attractive frontispiece-title by Roberto Cordier showing an altar with allegories of Faith and Religion, the king of Spain with one foot on an Globe supported by Neptune. A second volume was published in 1639 on the government of the West Indies. Contemporary speckled limp vellum. Jansenist spine. Red morocco title-piece. Spine faded with black spots. Small lacks to head and foot of joints. Trace of a yellow dampstain to right-hand corner of last twenty leaves. Letter to Phillip IV of Spain and introductory portions lacking, a total of 11 leaves. In 1618, Juan de Solórzano Pereira wrote the king a petition to make him part of a book project on the West Indies. King Philip IV was seduced by the general idea of legally asserting once and for all the legitimacy of the Spanish possessions in America and financed the first book on justice, but not the second on the forms of government, which appeared in 1639. The author had been a judge in Lima since 1609 by Royal appointment. The Viceroy of Peru appointed him Governor of Huancavelica, a mining outpost of key economic importance to Spain, an office he was to fill during his eighteen years in Peru, as well as Procurator to the Supreme Council of the Indies (Real y supremo consejo de Indias). Pereira developed an extensive and detailed knowledge of Spanish jurisprudence in the West Indies, studied numerous documents, and ended up with a significant wealth of knowledge, especially on the ancient customs of the indigenous peoples. The first part of the book is dedicated to studying the laws that allowed the attachment of the American possessions to the crown of Castille. Here, the focus is the definitive legitimation of the Spanish possessions in America. The author then looks at the question of the Church and its relations with the Spanish crown, as well as laws on government in general, the administration of justice, and finally the laws regulating relations with the indigenous peoples and territories. The importance of Pereira's work is to be found in his relentless effort to find the history and origin of each law. 1680 saw the publication of the famous collection of the laws of the Indies, (the Recopilacion de las leyes des las Indias), but this could not replace the excellent work of Pereira, who spent a long time studying the oldest laws as well as those of the Indies. In fact, all the ancient laws, and their indigenous origins, disappeared from the collection of the laws of the Indies, and Pereira's work would remain key for the history of the West Indies and Spanish Americas.

CHINESE TRAVEL TO AMERICABiblio.com

Cabinet cards showing the scholar Ko K'un-hua and his children.

1885179195New York: G. W. Pach & Brothers c.1885. A landmark moment in the history of teaching Chinese A rare photograph of the first instructor of Chinese at Harvard a well-known example of travel against the west-to-east grain. Ko brought with him from China the books that would form the basis of the Harvard-Yenching library. We can trace only a handful of these cabinet cards in commerce. In the late 1870s Harvard decided to offer Chinese classes to prepare undergraduates for lucrative but demanding careers in the Chinese customs service. After the university raised $8750 to finance a lectureship Harvard graduates in China including Edward Drew and H. B. Morse searched for a suitable candidate settling on Drew's former Chinese tutor from Ningbo. Ko 1838-1882 also romanized as Ge Kunhua arrived at Harvard in September 1879 taking as his first student George Lane Pope Professor of Latin in return for Lane teaching him English. "The few remaining photographs of Ko reveal a dignified middle-aged man in the long high-necked heavy garments of a scholar-official of the Qing dynasty" Harvard Magazine. Ko remained in Cambridge until his sudden death from pneumonia in 1882 following which Harvard paid for his family's return to China. His appointment was far ahead of its time: the university did not restore Chinese to the curriculum for another four decades. Ko was accompanied to the US by his six children five of whom are shown in the second cabinet card although only the names of the sons Ge Zhong and Ge Shu are known. Drew helped pay for the pair's education following their father's death. The Pach brothers established their first studio in New York in the 1860s. Between 1877 and 1890 they traded from 841 Broadway. Both cabinet cards give this main address and the Pach satellite locations including Cambridge and New Haven. In 1895 a fire destroyed the firm's entire stock of negatives. 2 albumen prints c.150 x 100 mm and inverse on card mounts 163 x 106 mm verso with yellow surface-paper printed with Pach mark. Light foxing to images image of children slightly faded: very good.

Avec un voyage qui contient une Relation exacte de l'Origine, Moeurs, Coutumes, Religion, Guerres & Voyages des Cara•bes, Sauvages des Isles Antilles de l'amérique, faite par le sieur de La Borde.

In-12, [34]-604-[32]p. Réédition parue du vivant de l'auteur de cette précieuse relation, dont l'édition fut partagée entre les libraires Pierre Van der Aa de Leyde, et Adrian Braakman d'Amsterdam. La première édition de cette relation fut publiée sous le titre de Description de la Louisiane, à Paris, chez la veuve Huré, en 1683 et rééditée sous des titres différents, avec quelques amplifications. Pour la rédaction de son ouvrage, le père Hennepin mit à contribution les récits de Cavelier de La Salle et ceux des pères Zenobre Membré et Christian Le Clercq. C'est dans cet ouvrage que l'on trouve imprimé pour la première fois le nom de Louisiane.

En février 1680, il fut chargé par ce dernier de reconnaitre l'embouchure de l'Illinois et remonter le Missisipi ; à hauteur de la rivière Wisconsin, il fut enlevé par des Sioux. Après deux mois de captivité, il fut, ainsi que ses deux compagnons, délivré par Daniel Greysolon du Lhut. Par la suite, le père Hennepin regagna l'Europe. Le Voyage ou Relation exacte de l'origine, mÏurs, coétumes, religion, guerres & voyages des caraibes, sauvages des isles Antilles de l'Amérique, de La Borde, porte un titre particulier, daté aussi de 1704. Papier légèrement roussi, néanmoins très bon exemplaire de cet ouvrage des plus rares.

[China - Beijing: Khanbaliq]. Flemish / Dutch school.MareMagnum

Cambalv. [Likely Antwerp or Amsterdam, circa 1590].

Woodcut ovoid roundel (60 x 75 mm), contemporarily trimmed to just outside neatline and contemporarily mounted to a larger sheet of paper (in excellent condition). One of the earliest printed views of what is today Beijing: an unrecorded bird's eye prospect over 'Cambalu', or Khanbaliq (on the site of modern Beijing), the capital of China during the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368). The Yuan Dynasty was founded by the legendary Mongol warrior Kublai Khan, who after conquering China proclaimed his new capital at Khanbaliq, although the city would not be completed until 1293. During the succeeding Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Khanbaliq was transformed into what is known as Beijing. Interestingly, as seen in the view, the walled rectangular form of the old city of Beijing is already evident in the design of Khanbaliq. Marco Polo visited Khanbaliq, but his description of its location was vague. For over two centuries thereafter Europeans were confused as to not only the location of "Cambaluc", but they even sometimes confused its identify with "Cathay" (China), thinking that it was the name for the entire country. This confusion was cleared up by the Jesuit Matteo Ricci during his first visit to Beijing in 1598, when he definitively identified Khanbaliq as the precursor to the modern Chinese capital. The present work is one of a series of 26 woodcut roundels of views and maps that were found together as collection. Charming, mysterious and apparently unique, in the absence of any accompanying documentation we are left to make educated guesses about their genesis. By all appearances they seem to be late 16th or early 17th century Flemish or Dutch woodcuts, probably proofs for vignettes to adorn the sides of an unrealized copper-engraved wall map (or maps). Indeed, this period saw the beginnings of the "carte à figures" wall maps that became all the rage during the 17th century, and which occupied an iconic place in the art world of the Low Countries. In the fluid and fast-paced environment of the large European print shops, it was common for artists to experiment with designs for copperplate maps by making woodcut proofs, as carving into wood was much quicker and cheaper. Only if the design was accepted for publication was it engraved into copper (an expensive and demanding process). The views within the roundels were generally predicated on the most authoritative recent sources. Many of the views are based on those published within the first four volumes of Braun & Hogenberg's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (6 vols., 1572-1618), the first great "town book", featuring bird's eye views of cities in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Inspired by Ortelius's ground-breaking world atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terraum" (1570), which featured all of the world's known regions in detail, this monumental endeavour featured 546 views and maps of cities. The views from the "Civitates" are imbued with profound historical importance as, in many cases, they are the first accurate and detailed views of many great cities and towns, and were the most popular and influential images of these urban centres available to Europeans during the late 16th and much of the 17th centuries. Other fantastic sources include Jan van Linschoten's "Itinerario" (Amsterdam, 1596), one of the most consequential books ever written, responsible for breaking the Portuguese monopoly on European trade in South and East Asia. Likewise, other views were borrowed from important and pioneering 16th century prints and manuscripts. The unknown maker of the set of roundels to which the present view belongs likely intended for them to serve as proofs for the vignettes adorning the sides of an intended "carte à figures" wall map (or more likely maps). The creation of such woodcut proofs was commonplace, although very few examples survive to this day, as most were destroyed once their incidental use had transpired. In any event, these woodcut roundels are a fascinating insight into the operations of a large cartographic workshop in the late 16th century.

Bretschneider, (Emil).MareMagnum

Notes on Chinese Mediaeval Travellers to the West. Shanghai, London, American Presbyterian Mission Press, Trübner, 1875.

8vo. (2), II, (1), (1 blank), 130 pp. With numerous Chinese characters in text and 3 wood engraved illustrations in text. Contemporary blind- and gold-blocked cloth. First separately published edition of a work on Chinese travellers from the 13th century by the Baltic physician and sinologist Emil Bretschneider (1833-1901). The book opens with a preface and an introduction, followed by four chapters, each devoted to a different Chinese traveller or voyage to the west. Bretschneider starts each chapter with a brief introduction, followed by a translation of Chinese sources including many Chinese characters, mostly for Chinese names, cities, rivers, mountains, etc. The first chapter deals with the travels of the Taoist monk Qiu Chuji (1148-1227), who travelled to Persia and India in the years 1221-1224 to meet the Mongol Khan. The second chapter narrates the journey of a Mongol embassy, dispatched in 1259 to west Asia, and chapter three is an "account of Western countries", written by an envoy of the Chinese Jin dynasty around 1220. He describes the customs and culture of the "Mohameddans" he meets in the west, probably describing the city Herat in Afghanistan. The fourth and last chapter describes partly the travels of the Khitan statesman Yelü Chucai, who served Genghis Khan, to present-day Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The book closes with some corrections and an appendix. Bretschneider mentions in his preface that the text was first published in the Chinese recorder and missionary journal. Bretschneider worked at Beijing from 1866 tot 1883 as doctor to the Russian Legation. "His writings both on botany and geography are extremely valuable" (Couling), most of them dealing with China. - Presentation copy, with a note by the author to "V. Gauvain" in ink on first flyleaf. Title-page with some faint damp stains, otherwise in very good condition. Cordier (Sinica) 2667. Couling 64.
