SPILBERGEN (JORIS VAN)

Miroir Oost & West-Indical, Auquel sont descriptes les deux dernieres Navigations, faictes en Années 1614. 1615. 1617. & 1618, 25 numbered plates (including 2 folding maps, one double-page plate, 4 folding plates), a few light spots and smudges, a few repairs or reinforcements on verso of maps without loss, contemporary calf, rebacked preserving much of original spine, corners restored [Borba de Moraes II.826; Sabin 2288; Shirley, World 304], oblong 8vo, Amsterdam, Jan Jansson, 1621

Footnotes

The rare French edition of both Spilbergen's voyages of 1614-16, and Le Maire's voyages 1615-17, and including a folding map showing their courses. The first edition appeared in 1619; "this French edition is much sought after. The text of Le Maire's journal is much more complete than that in the Latin edition of 1619" (Borba de Moraes).

During his circumnavigation, Spilbergen sailed through the Straits of Magellan, up the coast of Peru, further north reaching the coast of California where he raided Spanish settlements, and thence to the Molucca Islands and Java.

Provenance: N. du Rien, early ownership inscription on front free endpaper.
