VERHOEFF, Pieter Willemsz. Journael ende verhael van alle het gene dat ghesien ende voor-ghevallen is op de reyse, gedaen door .. Pieter Willemsz. Verhoeven, admirael generael over 13 schepen, gaende naer de Oost-Indien, China, Philipines, ende byleggende rijcken, in den jare 1607 ende volgende. (Amsterdam, Joannes Janssonius, 1645).Oblong 8vo. Modern wrappers. With plate depicting the fortress on Banda. 214 pp. (text set in two columns). First Dutch edition; extracted from Commelin's collection of voyages. - This account of Verhoeff's voyages is a composite piece. It starts with the journal by the chief merchant Johan de Moelre and continued, after he was killed, by the fleet's treasurer Jacques Le Febure. Followed by extracts from the journal of Reynier Dirckszoon, the pilot aboard one of the ships which sailed to Japan, and the journal of Jacob Specx and Pieter Segerszoon also on Japan. This piece is followed by a report by Samuel Bloemaert about trade and negotiations on Borneo and Appolonius Schotte's accounts of the Moluccas and Gillis Seys report of 1627 on Amboina. These materials constitute a rich source of information about the expansion of Dutch power in the Moluccas, the negatiations with the inlanders, the war with the Spaniards, the details of trade, and the daily life of the Dutch stationed there. This account of Verhoeff's voyage was never separately reprinted during the 17th century. (Lach & Kley, III, p.471-472). Landwehr, VOC, 250. [Boeknr.: 31991 ]

VINCENZO MARIA di S. Caterina da Siena. Il viaggio all' Indie Orientali. Con le osservationi, e successi nel medesimo, i costumi, kiti di varie natione, & reconditissimi arcani de gentili; cavati consomma diligenza da loro scritti, con la descrittione degl' animali quadrupedi, serpenti, ucelli, e piante di quel mondo nuovo, con le loro virtu singolari. Venetia, Giacomo Zattoni, 1678.4to. Modern limp vellum, with ties. With woodcut printer's device on title-page and several woodcut head- and tail-pieces, and initials. XXIV,516,20 pp. Second edition, first printed at Rome in 1672. - Vincenzo Maria was a Carmelite missionary whose name was Antonio Murchio. His book 'is far more than an itinerary of the Carmelite mission to India: Book I tells of the journey to Malabar; Book II is about the St. Thomas Christians; Book III is on the political, religious, and social life of Malabar; Book IV, probably prepared with the aid of Father Matthew, describes the plants of Malabar, tells of the return trip to Europe, and includes a description of Goa. While he cites a number of earlier European commentators on India, his description of Malabar, where he lived for almost one year (February, 1657, to January, 1658), is original and perceptive. .. He spent very little time in the port cities and came to know interior places rarely frequented by Europeans' (Lach, Asia in the making III, p.892).'Perhaps the most important of the 17th century Italian travellers' (Atabey p.689). He journeyed through Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Persia before he finally arrived in India. He had a keen eye and has much of interest to record about manners, customs, costumes, natural history, etc. He returned to his homeland via Muscat which he describes over a chapter. 'The present account is much more detailed than the usual contemporary reports' (Hünersdorff, Coffee, p 1045) .- (Some staining and soiling).Atabey Collection 1297 (3rd edition); not in Blackmer or Weber; Streit V, 538; Cat.
