Paul's Churchyard 1680 1 vol. relié in-4, demi-veau jaspé à coins, dos à nerfs encadrés de filets dorés, pièce de titre maroquin rouge, plats de papier peigné, non rogné, 1 f. + titre + 10 ff. (avertissement, dédicace, préface, table)+14-[4]-15-46-[4]-47-87+66 pp. Édition originale anglaise (l'originale française parut chez Clouzier l'année précédente) qui contient une description du Tonkin, dérivée des observations du frère de l'auteur, une description du Japon, recueillie auprès de négociants, et une violente attaque contre les agents de la Compagnie néerlandaise des Indes orientales. La première partie, consacrée au royaume du Tunquin (Tonkin), est illustrée de 8 planches gravées dépliantes oblongues. Mais il manque la planche réunissant les cartes du Japon et du Tonkin.

Cet ouvrage très rare est conservé dans une bonne reliure du début du XXe siècle, mais présente deux restaurations grossières (au premier feuillet de la préface et à la dernière gravure collée qui ne se déplie plus), quelques déchirures sans manque (notamment sur trois des gravures), quelques rousseurs et tâches.

Lacking endleaves; illegible ownership inscription on lightly soiled title; very good overall.</p><p>Rare first edition of this account of the state of Christianity in Thailand Cambodia Vietnam by rivals of the Jesuits. The Société des Missions Etrangères a new apostolic missionary group established in Paris in 1660 was as a society of secular priests who devoted their lives to foreign missions but refrained from taking vows. Under the aegis of the Propaganda Fide the Société des Missions soon became embroiled in conflicts over territory with the Jesuits. As a result of the patriotism of its priests the organization's impact extended beyond evangelicalism into the political realm: in addition to facilitating a series of embassies and treaties it also successfully established a more active trade between Indo-China the Indies and France. This Relation brought fresh information about the condition of the mission in different parts of southeastern Asia between 1666 and 1671.</p><p>It consists of four parts the first dealing with the mission in Siam and containing descriptions of amongst others Bourbon Island Madagascar and Mozambique the second treating the situation in Cochin-China the third the mission in Cambodia and the fourth being devoted to Tonkin including an account of the work of bishop Lambert de la Motte. Lambert was a member of the Society's first expedition to the Far East which had left Europe in 1660.</p><p>Fermanel de Favery c. 1632-88 superior and director of the "S'naire pour les Missions Etrangères" signs the dedicatory epistle to Cardinal de Bo' and consequently Streit Lach and Van der Kley ascribe authorship to him. The work was reprinted in 1680 and 1684 and an Italian translation <em>Relatione delle missioni de vescovi vicarii apostolici' alli regni di Siam Cocincina Camboia e Tunkino</em> was published in Rome in 1677 and 1697.</p><p> Cordier I.826 s.v.

16334531London: Robert Raworth for Richard Clutterbuck 1633. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Tastefully bound in ruled red morocco interior gilt dentelles; title-page dusty and trimmed at upper & outer margins; repaired corner of prelims. Otherwise very good. Rare first edition of the first book on Vietnam in English an eyewitness account of the commerce government and cultural life of Cochin-China central Vietnam written by the Jesuit missionary Cristoforo Borri and first published in Italian in 1631.Borri begins by marking the kingdom's boundaries identifying it as a narrow strip of land between Laos and the South China Sea bordered to the north by Tongking and to the south by Champa. A discussion of the kingdom's fertile land and rich natural resources follows emphasizing the abundance of fruits nuts rice fish textiles domestic stock and "all other things requisite for the entertainement of a man's life." Silk is produced in such quantities that "the baser sort of people wear it dayly." Gold and silver mines abound and "the Wood and Timber of this countrey is the best of all the world." Having piqued his readers' curiosity the author goes on to describe Cochin-China's vibrant commercial climate declaring it free of the red tape and bureaucratic hostility that so often greeted European traders in East Asia.Borri's 1631 Relazione a Jesuit missions letter directed at his Catholic superiors and lay readers was already unusual among works in its genre for devoting a substantial part exclusively to non-religious content. Ashley the translator executed further changes of his own in order to render the present work more attractive to Protestant business interests-most notably by omitting the part where Borri testified to the struggle and success of his Jesuit missions particularly the conversion of Pulucambi province. The translation also cheerfully elides two disastrous episodes in recent European trade with Cochin-China: the 1601 massacre of 23 members of an envoy from the VOC and a similar massacre in 1613 of the crew of an English trading vessel. This attempt to coax England's notoriously skittish merchants into commerce with Cochin-China is also borne out by Ashley's choice of dedicatee: Maurice Abbot the newly-elected governor of the British East India Company. According to Pollard and Redgrave the work's last signature is in 3 rather than 4 because the unsigned title-page was printed as the 4th and final leaf.Cristoforo Borri 1583-1632 a Milanese astronomer lived in Cochin-China from 1617-1622 where he learned enough of the language to hear confession. By 1633 two years after its first appearance his Relatione had been translated into French German Dutch and English. This is the first copy to appear on the market since 1988 Christie's sale of John Fleming 11.08.88.STC 1504; Lach.III v. 3 p. 1250-1266; Dror & Taylor Views of 17th C Vietnam pp. 66.
