Karl Baedeker 1801-1959 was born in Essen and attended Heidelberg University. His family was involved in the publishing and bookselling business and around 1828 he entered the travel guide business. Baedeker created a different kind of travel book that opened up tourism for a new class of travelers by guiding the tourist to the principal attractions in a country or area. This information was often edited by Baedeker himself and sons would take over and expand the business after his death. This edition provides considerable information on Spain and Portugal and contains many folding maps. ODB. Karl Baedeker, books

1671WRCAM34482Madrid 1671. 16 leaves. Folio. Dbd. Upper outer corners numbered in contemporary manuscript. Minute toning at fore-edge primarily on first leaf. Overall very good. In a half morocco and cloth box. The petition of Don Pedro Nuño Colon de Portugal descendant of the explorer Christopher Columbus and sixth Duke of Veragua and Marquis of Jamaica requesting that Mariana of Austria Queen Regent of Charles II of Spain make some compensation for the loss of income the Duke had suffered since the British took Jamaica in 1655. Jamaica had been the exclusive fief of the descendants of Columbus since 1536 when it was given as a reward to the family. This document is dated 1671 by the text at the top of the second leaf where the Duke refers to Spain's cession of Jamaica to Great Britain "last year in 1670." Despite this date some scholars assert a date of 1672. Since most of the text is devoted to the life of Columbus the document is by default also one of the few early biographies of the explorer. <br> <br> In his argument the Duke puts special emphasis on the tremendous gain Spain received by virtue of his ancestor's discovery. In citing various sources he estimates that within the first 170 years after its discovery the New World had produced for Spain some one billion 190 million pesos. Despite these figures the present heir to Columbus' titles and estates was reduced to an income of sixteen thousand ducats. <br> <br> The Duke mentions no specific amount of compensation that he would like for Jamaica but points out that Puerto Rico is of approximately the same worth. The last four pages are a glowing description of Jamaica its towns people products etc. ending with an itemized accounting of just how much rent the island had produced annually for the Duke before the British occupation 40950 pesos silver. Two years after this petition was printed the Duke was made the 26th viceroy of New Spain - a fair reward for the loss of Jamaica. His term however was short. He reigned only six days before dying in Mexico City. <br> <br> "This is the final petition sent to the throne of Spain and contains a long account of the various descendants of Columbus and their claims on Spain an account of Jamaica and a list of the various dues received from Jamaica" - Maggs. The previously mentioned biographical content of the present document is important. It is possibly an assimilation of the sixteen-page folio manuscript of the life of Columbus written by Juan de Solorzano Pereira the famous Spanish jurist and fiscal of the Council of the Indies in 1628 responsible for the great work on colonial American law the POLITICA INDIANA published in 1629. In that manuscript Solorzano states that it was composed at the request of the Duke's branch of the Columbus family forty- two years before the present document was printed. The Solorzano manuscript is described in the LeClerc catalogue of 1878 item 137 along with other documents relating to the Duke's branch of the family. <br> <br> One of the earliest Columbus biographies married to an eloquent plea by his impoverished heirs. Extremely rare. Palau locates only one copy of the original at the Real Academia de la Historia. EUROPEAN AMERICANA locates two more Huntington and British Library.

1513WRCAM38334Strassburg: Matthias Hüpfüff 1513. 7 leaves including woodcut titlepage illustration 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 inches plus final integral blank leaf. Quarto. Dbd. leather tab on fore-edge of first leaf. Slight soiling and dampstaining in margins. A very good copy. In a half morocco and cloth box. An extremely rare German translation of a newsletter first issued in Latin and published in Rome in 1513 reporting the Portuguese conquest of Malacca in 1511 and describing its rich potential as a commercial center. No copies of this seven-leaf edition are recorded in OCLC or RLIN and only a single copy of another 1513 German translation printed in Augsburg and consisting of five leaves is located in the U.S. at the James Ford Bell Library. However the British Library holds copies of both translations and the imprint information for this edition is based on Robert Proctor's research on German books in the British Museum. <br> <br> The letter from Manuel I to Pope Leo X relates the conquest of Malacca by Portuguese military commander Afonso de Albuquerque in June 1511. In addition to providing details of this victorious battle the report includes descriptions of the wealth to be found in the region and the importance of the city as a trading nexus. In particular the text emphasizes how courteously the merchants were treated in order to ensure future commerce. Albuquerque's voyages and military exploits between 1503 and 1515 were instrumental in consolidating Portugal's expansion to India and Malaya. The present pamphlet also records his actions after he departed Malaya and returned to Goa in 1512. These include descriptions of skirmishes with the Moors and embassies to other parts of India and Asia related to the payment of tribute to the Portuguese crown. As in the descriptions of Malacca the potential wealth to be found in the region is emphasized. <br> <br> While the text of the pamphlet is entirely about the East Indies the titlepage contains one of the earliest illustrations of an American Indian. This woodcut shows a native man and native woman on either side of an armorial shield immediately below a royal crown. The naked woman with a flowering plant in her left hand holds the bottom of the crown with her other hand as the man steadies the shield with his left hand and grasps a bow with his right hand. The man with full beard wears a feather crown skirt and leg decorations. This woodcut is exactly the same as that illustrating the titlepage of an earlier German newsletter reporting Portuguese activities in the East Manuel I's GESCHICHTE KURTZLICH DURCH DIE VON PORTUGALIEN IN INDIA MORENLAND UND ANDERN ERDTRICH published in Nuremburg circa 1507. This portrayal of the man in turn appears to be derived from images of South American Indians found in an illustrated Vespucci broadside printed in Nuremberg circa 1505- 1506 see EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/11 and illustrated on the cover of the Wolfenbüttel exhibition catalogue and broadsides based on Vespucci's third voyage printed in Augsburg circa 1505-1506 EUROPEAN AMERICANA 505/13 and 505/14. The publisher of the present work also issued an illustrated edition of Vespucci in 1505 but not this one see Church 22 for a reproduction. At this early time Europeans might well have supposed that the East Indians of Malacca and the natives Vespucci encountered in the New World were the same people. All of these broadsides and pamphlets including the present work were published within seven or eight years in three different centers of German printing. <br> <br> A remarkably rare early German newsletter reporting on Portuguese military and commercial activities in Malacca and India.
