Plein vélin d'époque, tranche-fils traversant les coiffes, trace de à lacets, dos à nerfs titré à l'encre brune, tranches jaspées. Exemplaire de toute rareté d'une des premières publications consacrées aux tentatives françaises de colonisation du Brésil et précieuse source, en partie unique, d informations ethnographiques et géographiques. A l orée du 16ème siècle, les Français mènent plusieurs tentatives de colonisation en Amérique, avec des succès au Nord (fondation de la Nouvelle France par Samuel Champlain), et quelques installations avortées au Sud. Claude d'Abbeville, né à Abbeville, est un missionnaire capucin qui participe, en 1612, à la tentative de colonisation française de la France équinoxiale au Brésil (Saint Louis de Maragnan, située dans l embouchure de la rivière Mearim). L'éphémère colonie s'implante avec le soutien de la reine régente Marie de Médicis qui nomme les Sieurs de La Ravardière et de Razilly « Lieutenants du Roi de France en l'île de Maragnan» et envoie des missionnaires Capucins pour exercer leur apostolat auprès des tribus tupinambas. De cette expérience coloniale est issu un corpus d'écrits composé de lettres apologétiques envoyées du Brésil par les Capucins et surtout de deux importants récits. Le premier est le présent ouvrage publié en 1614, récit complet du voyage à Maranhão de son auteur, le père Claude d'Abbeville, jusqu'à son retour en France accompagné du Sieur de Razilly et de six ambassadeurs tupinambas. La publication de ce livre, dans une édition luxueuse, ainsi que les cérémonies solennelles et l'impression des gravures représentant les ambassadeurs visaient à encourager de nouveaux commanditaires et à préparer une possible émigration vers la colonie brésilienne. Il s agit ainsi en partie d un ouvrage de « propagande » comparable à celui de Marc Lescarbot (Histoire de la Nouvelle France, 1609) publié dans le but d encourager des français à tenter l'aventure. La situation n'est plus la même un an plus tard : en 1615, quand le capucin Yves d'Évreux fait publier le second ouvrage intitulé « Suite de l'Histoire des choses mémorables advenues en Maragnan, des années 1613 & 1614 [ ] ». Ce dernier n'a cependant jamais été connu du public, car le tirage a été détruit dans les ateliers de l'imprimeur François Huby. Néanmoins, François de Razilly réussit à sauver un seul exemplaire du livre, hélas endommagé. Le fait nous est raconté dans une lettre qu'il fait imprimer et relier soigneusement avec le récit, et qu'il offre au roi Louis XIII en 1617. Conscient des intérêts politiques qui menaçaient de compromettre l'entreprise coloniale, Razilly y révèle les circonstances qui ont conduit la « faction espagnole », qui soutenait le projet de mariage du jeune Louis XIII avec l'infante Anne d'Autriche, à exercer des pressions pour que les Français quittent le Maranhão. C'est pour ces raisons que la couronne de France renonce à soutenir davantage sa colonie brésilienne, démantelée en novembre 1615 par les forces portugaises. En France, la dimension politique et religieuse du projet missionnaire du Maranhão trouve sa meilleure expression lors de la réception des ambassadeurs tupinambas à Paris, en 1613-1614. Toujours accompagnés de Claude d'Abbeville et du Sieur de Razilly, les deux ambassadeurs sont menés au Louvre afin de rendre hommage au roi de France et de soumettre « leur terre & leurs personnes à son sceptre», le reconnaissant comme «leur Roy & Souverain Monarque de leur païs » (pp.340-341). Le présent ouvrage de Claude d'Abbeville est publié à deux reprises au début de l'année 1614, dans ce contexte d'euphorie lié, d'une part, à la présence des Tupinambas à Paris, de l'autre, à l'urgence du départ d'une deuxième compagnie vers le Maranhão, pour pourvoir aux besoins matériels et humains de la France Équinoxiale. La présente édition est publiée immédiatement après la première, imprimée à la hâte à son retour quelques mois plus tôt et rapidement épuisée. Sortis des mêmes presses, les deux tirages ne diffèrent que par quelques différences typographiques mineures (fautes de la premier corrigées entrainant la suppression de l errata et index amplifié, passant de 27 à 35 pp.) Depuis la parution, en 1551, du livret signalant la participation d'une cinquantaine de « sauvages » à la fête brésilienne organisée pour l'Entrée Royale d'Henri II à Rouen, toute une série de documents attestent la présence de « brésiliens » en France. C'est aussi à Rouen, en 1562, que Montaigne rencontre les trois Brésiliens présentés au roi Charles IX, qui leur « parla à eux long temps », et auxquels on « fit voir nostre façon, nostre pompe, la forme d'une belle ville » (Essais, Livre I, chapitre XXI). En 1566, à Bordeaux, un autre défilé avec des Indiens du Brésil avait été organisé en hommage à Charles IX. La propagande monarchique qui inspire les cérémonies parisiennes de 1614 suit de près les principes apostoliques modernes chers aux capucins. D'une part, les missions constituent un temps fort du progrès du sentiment divin habitant virtuellement tout homme. De l'autre, la dévotion collective participe du processus politique d'émergence d'une communauté catholique universelle, qui embrasserait ainsi l'île des Tupinambas aussi bien que le royaume de France. L ouvrage de Claude d Abbeville débute par un très beau frontispice finement gravé figurant des scènes de dévotion et d histoire religieuse. Le récit de D'Abbeville offre la première description imprimée de Maranhao (Sabin), et « nous donne.

Edition originale
8vo, ff. [8], 395, [17], with engraved title and 7 engraved illustrations; woodcut initials; slight worming from quire 2N onwards (touching some letters and illustrations), some light damp staining and toning, small tear to f. 290; overall very good in contemporary vellum, paper label with title to spine (slightly chipped); slightly marked and cockled; armorial bookplate to upper pastedown.Second edition, enlarged and revised from the first edition published earlier the same year, a handsome copy. The first written account of the Capuchin mission to Maranhão, an island on the coast of Brazil, of which, Sabin notes, this is the earliest mention. In 1612 the mission, composed of the French Capuchins Yves d'Evreux, Arsène de Paris, Ambroise d'Amiens, and Claude d'Abbeville, accompanied Daniel de la Rivardière's expedition to settle Maranhão. Relations between the French and the local Tupi people were good and the Capuchin mission initially successful. Arsène and d'Abbeville soon returned to France accompanying six important Tupi, portraits of whom, in European dress, can be found in this account. The Tupi ambassadors caused a sensation in Paris, where curious crowds flocked to see them and 'the Histoire de la mission seems to have been printed very quickly in order to take advantage of the presence in Paris of the six Tupi from Maranhão . It appears that the first edition was soon out of print, and a second was printed. This was published with the misprints corrected, and a more extensive index was compiled and printed in 35 pp. in double cols' (Borba de Moraes, trans.). 'It is the most important text along with that of Yves d'Evreux not only on the French attempt to colonise the island of Maranhão, but above all for the precious information it provides on "the admirable singularities and the marvellous manners of the local people"' (Duviols, trans.). D'Abbeville relates the mission's outward voyage, the arrival in Maranhão, the death of Father Ambroise and the Capuchins' activities on the island. He also adds detailed descriptions of the region, including the animals, birds and fish found there, as well as chapters on the customs, laws, wars, and history of the Tupi people. His account ends with the return voyage to France, their arrival and welcome in Paris, and the ensuing festivities. The missionaries, with the six Tupi ambassadors, 'landed at Le Havre after a stormy crossing and were given a great reception, with a procession, gun salute, visit to the Governor and acclamation by the crowd. There were similar festivities in Rouen. But the greatest excitement was in Paris. A hundred priests greeted the Tupinambá party at the city gates, and escorted it to the Capuchin church for a mass attended by a galaxy of French nobility. The Tupinambá marched in the procession wearing their feathers and holding clubs. The Parisians were wild with curiosity: people poured in from the countryside, and the excited crowd burst the gates of the Capuchin convent housing the Tupi. The Tupinambá were taken to the Louvre to visit King Louis XIII, and their leader made a speech in Tupi. But the inevitable European diseases struck these Americans the sixty-year-old Carypira caught influenza and died, and two of his companions died soon after. They were buried in Franciscan habits. But the three survivors received the full panoply of French official hospitality. They were taken for baptism in the Capuchin church in the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, wearing long soutanes of white taffeta buttoned down the front with silk buttons and with small valois collars, and carrying tall hats with white plumes. Each carried a fleur-de-lys as a symbol of submission to the French. King Louis and his mother the Regent Marie de Médicis acted as godparents, and the Archbishop of Paris officiated. The leading Tupinambá was christened Louis-Marie, and he made a speech of acceptance. The three were then taken to the convent of Sainte-Claire to satisfy the curiosity of its nuns, who were desperate to see the exotic strangers' (Hemming, Red Gold, p. 206). 'The narrative of the journey, and all the events, is the principal printed French source that exists about this tentative colonization of the north of Brazil. Although not endowed with the spontaneity and the literary talent of Yves d'Evreux, Claude d'Abbeville gives us valuable information concerning the religion and "astronomy" of the Tupis, not to be found in any other writings' (Borba de Moraes).
