Hardcover. Etat : Good. Hardcover. Full leather. An early (certainly 17th century if not original to 1633) binding. Raised cords. Corners bumped and leather less than supple, but binding good and tight and complete without any deficiency except age. Engraved title page. Pencil notation on the inside cover says "lacks maps" as indeed it does. 20 pages of frontismatter. Then pagination begins with '1' and continues to 807, followed by a 1 page poem "Of the Unknowne parts of the world." The section on American begins on page 767. "At the first arrivall of the Spaniands into this country, they found the people without all manner of apparell, nought skilled in Agriculture, making their bread of a kind of root, callled Maiz: a root wherein is a venemous liquor, not inferiour to most deadly poysons: but this juice they crush out, and after having dried and prepared the root, make their bread of it. They worshipped divellish spirits, whom they called Semes, in remembrance of whom they kept continually certaine images as it were, made of a cotton wooll, like to our children's babies." It is hardly a handbook by which one could hope to navigate or settle the land -- but it is an extremely early account of America, published while John Winthrop and the Plymouth Pilgrims were still unpacking their bags in New England. (and just a decade after Shakespeare's First Folio). The majority of the book covers the more familiar confines of Europe and the Mediterranean. "Of France. the country is wondrous populous, supposed to containe 15 millions of living soules." Nicely printed and with wide margins at the sides, somewhat close at top and bottom. Measures about 5.5 x 7.25 inches. An important glimpse into the worldview of the early 17th century. A long discourse on whether the natives were black or white ends with the conclusion that they are descendants of the Tartars. And a description of the gold mines says that in there there was 'more gold than earth.' First published in 1621 & popular enough, evidently, to go through 6 editions in a dozen years. [I do not see any mention of maps in either the 1629 or 1631 editions of this book, which are the only ones currently available, so pencil notes notwithstanding, I'm not sure if there are supposed to be maps here or not. There are no maps in the google-books scan of this 1633 edition.] Please email with questions or to request photos.…
