Pièce de titre, 2ff-444 pp- 1ff catalogue Nouvelle édition de cet important témoignage sur les flibustiers américains dont l édition originale avait paru en 1689. Bel exemplaire 12mo, 19th cent. Gilt calf ; joints sl. Worn, very good copy Raveneau de Lussan, a young Frenchman who wished to see the world, sailed from France for San Domingue in 1679. His indebtedness led him to join the buccaneers in search of his fortune ; France and Spain were at war, and French buccaneers found both wealth and protection while harassing the Spain. By his own reckoning, Raveneau de Lussan was very devout, never allowing his crew to molest priests or nuns, or to sack churches. After taking a Spanish town, he and his men would attend Mass before commencing to loot. He also recounts his love affair with a Spanish widow. Raveneau spent several months raiding in the West-Indies, and several years raiding the Pacific coast between Guatemala and Chile. He details both the romantic and the bleak sides of the buccaneering profession, interwoven with colourful descriptions of the natives of the regions and a clear picture of the Spanish colonies on the Pacific. Raveneau de Lussan s journal was first published in Paris in 1689. Other French editions were issued in 1705.

NOUVELLE ÉDITION de l'UN DES PLUS CÉLÈBRES OUVRAGES CONSACRÉS À LA FLIBUSTE dans la version française de Jean de FRONTIGNIÈRES. Elle est corrigée et augmentée du "Journal du Voyage fait à la Mer du Sud" [tome 3) par le flibustier français Jacques RAVENEAU DE LUSSAN et de l'"Histoire des pirates anglais" (tome 4) attribué à Daniel DEFOE et Nathaniel MIST (1685-1737), publiée pour la première fois en 1724 sous le pseudonyme du « capitaine Charles Johnson ». Ce grand classique de récits d'aventures dans les mers des Caraïbes rédigé primitivement par A.-O. EXQUEMELIN (1645-1707/11), flibustier français et chirurgien de bord pendant huit années du corsaire Henry Morgan, fut publié pour la première fois en néerlandais en 1678. Il y est notamment décrit avec précision la guerre des Caraïbes opposant Français, Hollandais et Espagnols, guerre dans laquelle Exquemelin joua un rôle important. L'ouvrage connut un succès de librairie immédiat qui déclencha des traductions allemande, espagnole, anglaise et française. La première version française de Jean de FRONTIGNIÈRES fut publiée en 1686 sous le titre "Histoire des Aventuriers" : elle est très augmentée par rapport à la version néerlandaise d'origine et comprend de nombreux détails et anecdotes qui ne figurent pas dans les autres traductions. BEL EXEMPLAIRE conservé dans sa reliure d'époque en PARFAIT ÉTAT. (Sabin, 23478 - Polak, 7143 : « Cette édition ne comporte pas de planches mais elle est plus recherchée que l'originale car elle comporte les tomes 3 et 4 » - Leclerc, 199, pour la deuxième édition (1688) de la traduction française de Frontignières, en 2 volumes in-12 ). NICE COPY. PICTURES AND MORE DETAILS ON REQUEST.
