1652A0820xx282 pages with title printed in red and black. Duodecimo 6" x 3 3/4" bound in full leather with blind stamped ruled edges. Sabin 33014. TPL 6327. Field 717. JCB II 418. Leclerc 290. Rahir 2056. Graesse III 370. Winsor I 369-70 First edition.<br /><br />One of the principal works in the celebrated literary dispute over the origins of the American aborigines. The controversy began in 1642 when Dutch jurist Hugo Grotius published his <i>De Origine Gentium Americanorum</i> in which he postulated that all of North America except for Yucatan was inhabited by the descendants of pre-Columbian Scandinavian colonists that the Peruvians were from China and that the regions south of Peru were peopled by the Moluccans. His theory aroused an antagonist in Joannes de Laet who counter-posed that the Scythian race furnished the predominant population of America. Horn better known by his Latinized name Hornius entered the debate at the suggestion of De Laet whose view he supported but he also held to later additions from the Phoenicians and Carthaginians on the Atlantic side and from the Chinese on the Pacific. The work contains references to early travels and accounts of America and discussion of the Huron and Iroquois tribes of Canada.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Rebacked signature clipped from front free end paper which is partially detached early book plate to front pastedown inked library stamp to final page corners chipped title with some old ink numbers else a good copy.<br /> Adrian Valcq hardcover books

1991A000852 volumes: 704 pages with tables; 848 pages. Octavo 9" x 6 3/4" bound in original wrappers. Compiled by Warren J Benedict. First edition limited to 500 copies.<br /><br /> In the fall of 1965 Warren found in the John Carter Brown Library a very incomplete manuscript dictionary of the Tarascan language. In the catalog of the library it was indicated as a work of Father Gilberti who first publish the grammar 1558 and dictionary 1559 of the language. But the manuscript dictionary was very different than that of the dictionary published by Gilberti. Warren considered copying the document but because of the poor physical condition of the manuscript decided against doing so. In 1977 when Warren began to investigate further the life and writings of Brother Mathurin Gilberti he found in a bibliographic directory a quotation from a manuscript in the Latin American Library at Tulane indicating that it was a "Vocabulary Castilian-Tarasco-Tarasco and Castilian" written by Brother Gilberti. When asked about the content of the manuscript he was assured that the manuscript was published as the Gilberti vocabulary. He found that not only was it different in many ways from the published vocabulary of Gilbert but was a full version of which the dictionary of which the manuscript of the John Carter Brown contained only the last part. Since the manuscript in the Tulane library was completely legible and without major flaws it was possible to begin serious editorial work. So Warren called the manuscript of Tulane Text A. It consists of two parts: the Spanish-Tarasco part which has 130 leaves and the Tarasco-Spanish Part of 150 leaves. There was a note by the famous Mexican bibliophile Nicolás León indicating the provenance of the manuscript. This manuscript was an unpublished document in the hand of Father Gilberti. This vocabulary was produced after the one printed in Mexico in 1559 and therefore more copious and corrected. It was found among the books belonging to Mendoza in Guadalajara 1913 and bought in the Archdiocese. With the stamp on the title page is the "Sociedad Mexicana de GeografÃa y EstadÃstica"; but it is believed that it was part of Mendoza's collection because no files appear in the receipt proving that it had been donated in 1913 noted by Leon. Having satisfied his conscience Leon sold the manuscript to William Gates who in turn sold several photographic prints which are cited in the Newberry Library the Peabody Library and the Library of Congress. In 1924 Tulane bought the collection. The binding of the manuscript has a stamp of "Gates Collection" on the back of the cover. The original manuscript is written throughout in the same hand but has corrections and additions between the lines. Many of them are the original scribe but there are also many additions in another hand especially at the beginning of the Spanish-Tarasco part which may conflict sharply with the original. The manuscript of the John Carter Brown Library here called the Type B consisting of 148 leaves. This work is the compilation of all this material.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br /> Lightly soiled with gently bumped corners and light edge wear else a very good copy.
