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.

Show moreThis work is the original edition of the first full translation of al-Idrisis "Kitab Nuzhat al-Mustaq", a compendium of geographical information completed in 549 (1154 AD), with notes and index. The work is often cited by proponents of pre-Columbian Andalusian-Americas contact theories. The author is the Andalusian geographer, cartographer, egyptologist and traveller al-Idrisi (1099-1165?; known as "Dreses" in the Latin tradition) who lived in Sicily at the court of King Roger II, where he drew the famous "Tabula Rogeriana". An abridged Arabic version of his present geographical magnum opus ("The book of pleasant journeys into faraway lands" or "The pleasure of him who longs to cross the horizons") was published in Rome in 1592 being one of the first Arabic books ever printed. The first translation, an abridged Latin version, was published by Gabriel Sionita and Joannes Hesronita in Paris in 1619. Jauberts present French edition thus constitutes the first complete translation of the Arabic text. traduite de l'arabe en francais d'après deux manuscrits de la Bibliothèque du roi et accompagnée de notes par P.
