1699P1-3K-1Amsterdam, Paul Marret, 1699. 2 tomes en 2 volumes in-12 (160x100mm) de 349 pp et 358 pp., reliure d'époque XVIIIe, demi-veau brun granité, dos à nerfs ornés de fers dorés, pièce de titres. Rare édition originale illustrée de 2 frontispices, 2 pl. hors-texte et 9 planches dépliantes hors-texte gravées dont 3 cartes. François Bernier (1620-1688), médecin et philosophe, disciple de Pierre Gassendi, occupe une place particulière parmi les Européens qui font le voyage vers la Perse et l’Inde au milieu du XVIIe siècle. Ni marchand ni missionnaire, ni militaire ni diplomate, François Bernier voyage par "désir de voir le monde". Et c’est presque par hasard qu’il débarque à Sourate, alors premier port de la côte occidentale de l’Inde, fin 1658 ou début 1659. Bernier va séjourner presque dix ans en Inde où, engagé comme médecin auprès d’un haut fonctionnaire de la cour moghole, il devient un témoin privilégié de la vie politique indienne. Bernier explore une partie du sous-continent indien ; quittant Delhi et Agra il descend le Gange jusqu’à son delta, visite Golconde et le Cachemire. Esprit curieux et critique, il observe avec attention, s’informe et ausculte les pratiques politiques, sociales et religieuses de la société indienne de cette époque. Il est joint une lettre imprimée de Madame de Lenclos à Monsieur de St Evremond, avec la réponse de ce dernier ou il relate une piquante anecdote lors de sa rencontre avec Bernier en le surnommant le "Joli philosophe", surnom qui devait d'ailleurs lui rester. Bon exemplaire.

1625ABC_46574Lisbon: Pedro Craesbeeck 1625. Not bound. Folio. With a small woodcut decorated initial opening the text. Rare Spanish propagandistic news publication emphasizing the success of the Spanish fleet against the English and Dutch during the Anglo-Spanish and Eighty Years' War discussing the heavy losses of the Anglo-Dutch fleet on their way to Cádiz in 1625. In 1624 negotiations for the marriage between Charles Prince of Wales son of King James I and the Spanish infanta Maria sister of Philip IV broke down and war broke out because the Spanish court could not accept a marriage as long as Charles refused to convert to Catholicism. In 1625 the English prepared a fleet to sail to Spain more specifically Cádiz an important trading port of the Spanish silver fleet. In October 1625 approximately 100 ships including 15 Dutch warships sailed for Cádiz. Soon the ships were plagued with difficulties especially storms. Many ships were left barely seaworthy and it caused major delays. On 1 November 1625 fleet entered the Bay of Cádiz but in the end the mission failed.The present publication can be seen as Spanish propaganda presented as "news" emphasizing their victories. While sailing to Cádiz the Anglo-Dutch fleet came in heavy weather near Dunkirk. The text describes in great detail how ships went down or how they were captured but also the drowning of many people on board. The present publication in Spanish was printed in Lisbon in 1625 still under the rule of the Spanish monarchs the Crown of Portugal was united with the Crowns of Castile and Aragon from 1580 to 1640. It is an outstanding example of the Spanish annus mirabilis praising the Spanish victories during the wars with England and the Dutch Republic.Edges frayed and slightly browned with a few spots the two leaves nearly separated at the fold some minor foxing and a small jagged tear in the second leaf with minor loss of text. Otherwise in good condition. A rare piece of news and propaganda on the successes of the Spanish fleet against the Dutch and English ships.l Ensayo de bibliografía marítima Española 2467; Palau 257848; Pohler Bibliotheca Historico-Militaris p. 246; USTC 5025988 9 copies; Wilkinson & Lorenzo eds.
