In-24 gr. (mm. 143x80), p. pelle bazana coeva, dorso a cordoni (picc. manc.) con decoraz. e titolo oro, pp. (8),110, ornato da delicate testatine e capilettera xilografati. Dedica al Re Luigi XIV, noto per il suo interesse per il Nord America. Il volume raccoglie due lunghe lettere del Padre gesuita Verbiest in cui descrive il suo viaggio nella Tartaria (Orientale e Occidentale, 1682-83) al seguito dell’Imperatore cinese Kang-hi, unitamente alla "Nouvelle descente des Espagnols dans l’isle de Californie, l’an 1683", primo resoconto del mancato tentativo da parte dell’Ammiraglio Isidro de Atondo y Antillòn e del missionario Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino, di stabilire una colonia spagnola in California, nella baia di La Paz. "Seconda edizione" di questa rara opera (la prima è del 1685). Cfr. The Hill Collection of Pacific Voyages,1771: “’La Nouvelle descente des Espagnols..’ is a faithful translation of the rare ‘Relaciòn puntual de la entrada del Almirante Isidro de Atondo y Antillòn a la grande Isla de la California, este ano de 1683’.” “Ferdinand Verbiest, missionario gesuita, matematico e sinologo (Fiandre 1632 - Pechino 1688). Inviato in Cina vi lavorò per più di 30 anni rendendosi benemerito non solo nelle scienze esatte ma anche nel sostenere e propagare la fede cristiana. Onoratissimo dall’imperatore Kang-hi, pubblicò vari scritti scientifici, soprattutto astronomici”. Così Diz. Treccani,XII, p. 699. Esemplare ben conservato.
