John Ray was the compiler of these important travels. It is the first English translation of the Rauwolf who was a German physician botanist and traveller. His main notability arises from a trip he made through the Levant and Mesopotamia in 1573-75. The motive of the trip was to search for herbal medicine supplies. Shortly after he returned he published a set of new botanical descriptions with an herbarium. Later he published a general travel narrative about his visit. In addition to botanical investigations Rauwolff observed and recorded his impressions of the people customs and sights of the Levantine region; he was one of the first Europeans to describe the drinking of coffee.

1673017309The Bell in St Paul's Churchyard: John Martyn 1673. Illustrated with three engraved folding plates an engraved portrait one engraving within the text small thick octavo pp xiii i 499 i title to the Catalogus Stirpium v i 115 with the errata leaf lacking the title page which is supplied in an old-style photo copy the plates are a little browned and creased and one is splitting along the fold some age-toning and signs of use throughout signs of damp damage to the lower margins throughout with some pages frayed and flaking very slight loss of text to about fifteen pages bound in a recent very simple full calf no title to the spine. A good working copy of a very scarce title. John Ray FRS 1627 - 1705 was an English naturalist widely regarded as one of the earliest of the English parson-naturalists. His classification of plants in his Historia Plantarum was an important step towards modern taxonomy. Ray rejected the system of dichotomous division by which species were classified according to a pre-conceived type system and instead classified plants according to similarities and differences that emerged from observation. He was among the first to attempt a biological definition for the concept of species. In the spring of 1663 Ray started together with Willughby and two other pupils Philip Skippon and Nathaniel Bacon on a tour through Europe from which he returned in March 1666 parting from Willughby at Montpellier whence the latter continued his journey into Spain. He had previously in three different journeys 1658 1661 1662 travelled through the greater part of Great Britain. But from this Continental tour Ray and Willughby returned laden with collections on which they meant to base complete systematic descriptions of the animal and vegetable kingdoms. Willughby undertook the former part but dying in 1672 left only an ornithology and ichthyology for Ray to edit; while Ray used the botanical collections for the groundwork of his Methodus plantarum nova 1682 and his great Historia generalis plantarum 3 vols. 1686 1688 1704. The plants gathered on his British tours had already been described in his Catalogus plantarum Angliae 1670 which formed the basis for later English floras. . First Edition. Full Leather. Fair.

1679PHO-15Contenant sa navigation aux Indes Orientales, Maldives, Moluques et au Brésil... et les divers accidents qui lui sont arrivé en ce voyage pendant son séjour de dix ans dans ce pays. PARIS – LOUIS BILLAINE- 1679 3 Parties en 1 Volume in-4 (1250 x 175) de 5ff (titre au lecteur et Table des chapitres), 327, 218, 144 pp .12ff (table des matières) et 1 carte dépliante du Voyage de Pyrard dressée par DU-VAL. Plein veau brun d’époque, dos à nerfs ornés, tranches coiffes sans manque, charnière usée, coins usés jaspés. Edition la plus complète de cette célèbre relation de périple d’un malouin en Asie et Amérique. Paris le 18 mai 1601 de Saint-Malo, le marchand François Pyrard (1578-1624), de la ville de Laval fait naufrage sur les atolls des Maldives au terme d’un terrible voyage. Il y est retenu prisonnier cinq ans avant de regagner la côte indienne et les comptoirs portugais. Après un long séjour dans la ville de Goa, capitale de l’empire lusitanien en orient alors au faite de sa puissance il s’embarque comme soldat sur un navire de guerre : il passe ainsi par Ceylan, le Bengale et l’archipel de la Sonde. Détour à Goa, il est emmené sur une caraque portugaise pour être jugé comme espion à Lisbonne. Les fortunes de mer et les tempêtes détournent sa route sur Sâo Salvador de Bahia au brésil, puis le mènent en Galice de là il regagne sain et sauf la ville de la Rochelle où il accoste le 5 février 1611. Le voyage de Pyrard de Laval, premier récit français sur les Indes et Maldives est un grand classique de la litérature de voyage, l’équivalent pour la France de la Pérégrination de Fernâo Mendes Pinto pour le Portugal. Cest une source historique et ethnographique de toute première importance sur les Indes Orientales de l’époque, l’unique pour les Maldives ainsi, qu’une mine d’informations et d’anecdotes sur l’Inde Portugaise largement exploitée par la suite, voire pillée par nombre d’écrivains voyageurs. Pourtant il n’a connu que quatre éditions successivement augmentées : 1611, 1615, 1619 et la présente édition Sabin 66882 3 parts in-4(245-175mm) complet avec la carte. Travail de vers n’affectant pas le texte, très rare Most complete edition (Howgego) of the dramatic account of Pyrard de Laval, a french merchant seaman, of his voyage to India. Upon being shipwrecked on the Maldives in 1602, he remained there for five years, when he learned the local language and studied the culture and natural history following his eventual escape, he proceeded to Brazil, Goa Hinsustan an Cochin. His book included practical advice for French traders travelling to Asia and was an immediate success. This is the first edition edited by Pierre Duval, Geographer to the King, corrected an enlarged , and with a map showing the route of the voyage drawn by Duval himself, but with the vocabulary of the first edition of 1611 suppressed. Alsen & Landis 679/105 ; Borba de Moraes II , 694 ; Howgego p168 ; Sabin 66882. Three parts in one, quarto (245 x 175 mm). Engraved folding map, woodcut head and tailpieces (title browned at edges, small section replaced, and with small repairs on verso, a few other leaves browned at edges, ê1,I : Ss1-2 and II : Ee1 browned, repaired tear in Aa3, and ï1, small damp stain at fore-edge of last few leaves). Contemporary sprinkled calf, worm hole not affecting try or the map in the one page torn without missing hinges in bas. Very rare .
