Show moreTomus II -- Tomus III Opus nunc primum à M. Matthia Martinez e gallico in latinum sermonem translatum. Volumes 2 and 3 (part 2) of the first Latin edition of du Jarric's "Histoire des choses plus mémorables advenues tant és Indes Orientales qu'autres païs de la descouverte des Portugais" (first printed in 1608-14). The present set comprises the highly desirable volumes about Brazil, Hormuz in the Arabian Gulf, the Turkish Wars of the Portuguese and their settlements in India; also about Ethiopia, Congo, Angola, etc. "Contains a full account of the Jesuit mission to Brazil, St. Thomas, etc., with chronographical and historical descriptions of those countries" (Sabin). Du Jarric (1566-1617) vainly wished to join the missionaries of his order. Instead, he dedicated himself to writing on their behalf. His work gives a comprehensive picture of the missionary enterprises of the Jesuits up to 1612, chiefly within the sphere of Portuguese interests. It contains much valuable data on colonial history, geography, and ethnography. - Bond at the end of Vol. 2 are two rare controversial works by the Brabant Jesuit Martin Becanus (Verbeeck or Van der Beeck, c. 1561-1624), confessor to Emperor Ferdinand II. "He was one of the most fanatical champions of the return to Roman Catholicism" (Faber du Faur 944). - Some browning; index of vol. 3 misbound, otherwise very well preserved.
