	<![CDATA[ 
		8vo, pp. 176. For nearly a century a massive Asian empire was administered by a privately owned company located half a world away. The turbulent story of England's Honourable East India Company and its rise to power is recounted in this lively and informative history of the company's past four hundred years. From 1600 to 1863 the East India Company prevailed against rival European companies and almost continual warfare to gradually win control of India and spearhead the Western penetration of China. The author goes beyond the company's commercial exploits, the scandals of the opium trade, and the stirring nineteenth-century Tea Clipper races to delve into the lives of its employees, East India's peculiar organizational structure, and the technical details of its ships, the lordly East Indiamen. The author also covers the lesser-known aspects of the enterprise, such as the company's private navy, and its contribution to the development of early steam navigation. Generously illustrated,  this account reflects both the social and maritime history of the East India Company and its contributions to the expansion of the British Empire.

		8vo, pp. x, 186. For thousands of years the trade routes of Central Asia have been a conduit for culture and religion from West to East and East to West, and from the Indian sub-continent to both. The journey in all cases was transformative, and nothing passed through unchanged. The book I wish I had 35 years ago when I was trying to make sense of part of this picture.

		8vo, glossy illustrated hardcover, no dj as issued, pp. 213. Catalog of an exhibition held at the Teien Art Museum, which was designed by Henri Rapin, who worked with both Japanese and French artists to produce the interior, a landmark of Art Deco design.  It was completed in 1933 and was originally the residence of Prince and Princess Asaka, who were inspired by what they saw on visits to Paris. The catalog examines the influence of Art Deco on all aspects of design in Asia, especially Tokyo, while not overlooking the influence Asian art had on Art Deco. Contains several insightful essays, bibliography, and artist's biographies in addition to the highlight of the book, a 135 page full color section illustrating the items in the exhibit. Scarce.

		23 leaves. Small quarto. Modern half morocco and marbled boards, spine gilt. Manuscript foliations in upper outer corner of recto of each leaf. A bit of faint spotting. Very good. The first Spanish language edition, following by a few months the first edition (which was printed in Portuguese) printed in Lisbon the same year. This is the second overall printing of Andrade's important letter. The first authoritative, printed account of a European traveller's visit to Tibet. Antonio de Andrade (1580-1634) was a Portuguese Jesuit missionary who entered the order in 1596. From 1600 to 1624 he was the principal missionary in the Indies. In 1624, with the support of the Moghul emperor, he set out for Tibet, hoping to make contact with a reported trans-Himalayan Christian community. Travelling north to the upper Ganges and then to Mana, on the present-day border of Tibet, he continued on past local resistance to the state of Guge, where he encountered his first Buddhists. Andrade successfully convinced the King to allow the teaching of Christianity, and returned to Agra, where he wrote the present letter to his superiors, relating his journey and his experiences. Andrade would ultimately return to Tibet two more times, consecrating a church at Tsaparang in 1626. Andrade's printed letter is crucially important as being the first authentic report of Tibet by a European who undoubtedly went there (the 14th-century visit of Odorico de Pordenone remains in dispute). It was very popular and quickly went through many editions. "Throughout Catholic Europe this 'discovery' (so proclaimed by the title of the work, though Andrade never called it that himself) was hailed as a great victory for the faith and as possible aid in circumventing the dangers from the Protestant fleets on the lengthy sea route from India to China...Through Andrade's book and his later letters and those of others, Europe learned more about Tibet's location, size, political divisions, religion and customs" - Lach. A most important European account of travel in Asia, and the first European experience of Tibet.

		&#91;6],610,&#91;24]pp. including numerous illustrations in text, plus many full-page and double-page maps and views. Extra engraved allegorical title. Folio. Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spine. Light spotting. Minor toning. Contemporary ownership markings on extra title and titlepage. Overall internally bright and clean. Very good. One of two 1672 editions, the other also published in Amsterdam, in Dutch. Baldaeus' text is a primary work on southern India and the island of Ceylon. The book is divided into three sections: a general description of the region, a description of Ceylon, and a treatise on Indian gods and goddesses. "The author was a Dutch missionary in the Malabar and Coromandel districts. His narrative gives considerable information on the Dutch settlements in Southern India. He bears witness to the ravages of the dreaded Malabar pirates who still infested the western coasts of India" - Cox, citing Oaten, EARLY TRAVELLERS AND TRAVELS IN INDIA. Lach goes further in his praise of Baldaeus, quoting an 18th-century claim by Valentijn that Baldaeus "had provided 'the most detailed and the best' account of Ceylon.'" The remarkable cartography and views in Baldaeus' work are some of the most detailed produced to date. He offers maps of Goa, Suratte, Cochin, Cananor, Columbo, Jafnapatnam, and more. The views range from illustrations of Malabar pirate cruelty, to quaint local scenes, to fantastical depictions of Indian gods. The fauna of India also plays a central role in the illustrations, with the elephant making the most cameos. In addition, Baldaeus includes two double-page plates of the Malabar language. One of the best early descriptions of India, amply illustrated, here in an attractive contemporary binding.

		16pp. Later speckled paper boards. With the bookplate from the stock and reference library of H.P. Kraus on front pastedown. Minor separation of spine from rear joint. Moderate tanning. A very good copy. In a half morocco box. The present work is a rare separate edition of an earlier work by Giovanni Botero, first published in 1586. Botero's letter, written in 1584 and published as part of EPISTOLARUM...CAROLI CARDINALIS BORROMAEI NOMINE SCRIPATRUM..., was composed on behalf of his patron, Carlo Borromeo, to Cardinal Antonia Carafa. In the letter Botero details the Christian rituals observed by Portuguese and Spanish explorers and compares them to those of the native customs of New Spain (Mexico), Ethiopia, and Japan, remarking especially on the similarities between them. He concludes that the vestiges of Christianity were evidence of early apostolic missions to these lands. Botero was not only one of the greatest economists of the 16th century, but he was one of the leading historical and political commentators of his time. An avid student of theology, Botero spent his early years preparing to take vows as a Jesuit missionary, but was prohibited from doing so as a result of his political activity. Carlo Borromeo, the Archbishop of Milan, found Botero a position as a secular priest and then soon after offered him the post as his secretary. It was during this time that Borromeo composed his letter to Cardinal Carafa, referencing the Jesuit letters of Peter Martyr, Ramusio, and Barros, as evidence of the Jesuit influence. An important early statement in support of the theory that early vestigial traces of the church could be detected from the beliefs and practices being uncovered by contemporary Jesuit voyages to Asia and the New World. This edition is not listed in EUROPEAN AMERICANA, although the work on which it was based is included. OCLC locates a single copy in Germany at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek.

		16 leaves (&#91;32]pp.). Woodcut decorative initials on first three pages and illustration of the four winds blowing on a globe labeled, "Africa Europa Asia." Small folio. Dbd. Contemporary marginal annotations on first page. Occasional light foxing, else near fine. An extremely rare and interesting commentary on a letter attributed to Padre Luis Sotelo, the famous Franciscan martyr and missionary to Japan, with substantial information on early Japanese-Spanish relations by the author, Juan Cevicos. Cevicos, a merchant ship captain-turned-priest and scholar, was extraordinarily well-situated to comment on the political, economic, and religious cross- currents in Spain's first significant contact with Japan in the early 1600s. According to his autobiographical account at the beginning of the present work, Cevicos, a native of Cantalapiedra, Spain, arrived in New Spain in 1604. In 1608 he sailed for the Philippines as captain of the San Francisco, a Spanish galleon that traveled the annual Pacific route between Mexico City and Manila. On her return trip to Mexico in 1609, the San Francisco was shipwrecked off the eastern coast of Japan with a crew of 373 and the recent interim governor of the Philippines, Don Rodrigo de Vivero y Velasco, on board. Before this time, the only Europeans to have established strong official ties with Japan were predominantly Portuguese Jesuits who first settled in Nagasaki in the mid-1500s. From this base in southwestern Japan, the Jesuits began operating a successful silk trade with the Portuguese in Macao, and by the 1570s had effectively become the sole brokers of trade between Japan, China, and Portugal. In the meantime, Spanish friars minor from Manila, critical of the Jesuits' worldly dealings and almost exclusive focus on the Japanese ruling class, covertly began filtering into Japan as their leadership plied Rome for permission to establish an official presence. In 1608, Pope Paul V authorized the mendicant orders to proselytize in the country, and the Franciscan Luis Sotelo immediately set to work on building a mission in Edo. When the San Francisco was wrecked near Iwada, Sotelo met and assisted Vivero during the his nine- month stay, a sojourn that would have major ramifications for Spanish political and trade relations with Japan. During his recent tenure as governor in the Philippines, Vivero had established contact with the powerful shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, through the English navigator and advisor to Ieyasu, William Adams. With Sotelo serving as interpreter, Ieyasu and Vivero continued their discussion of establishing direct trade between Japan and Spain, and when Vivero left in 1610, on a ship built by William Adams, he took with him an delegation of twenty-two Japanese to meet with the viceroy of New Spain. This embassy represented the first recorded Japanese voyage to reach North America. Cevicos, in the meantime, traveled throughout Japan, visiting all the principal cities from Nagasaki to Edo, meeting Franciscans, Dominicans, Augustinians, and Jesuits along the way and learning about the new Dutch threat to the Catholic presence in the country. With their first carracks having recently arrived in Nagasaki, the Dutch had just built a trading factory in the area and torched a Portuguese galleon in the port. With these inroads by the Dutch, the Japanese had become increasingly suspicious of the Catholic monks as an advance force for Iberian conquest of the country, and Cevicos notes that the recent Dutch activities at Nagasaki led to increasing persecution of the religious orders by the Japanese authorities. In March 1610, Cevicos left for Manila, only to be captured by the Dutch off the coast during their siege of the city. He was released after Philippine Governor Juan de Silva engineered the attack and defeat of the Dutch in the harbor in April. Cevicos began studying intently in Manila and was eventually ordained a priest. He returned to Spain in 1623, where he continued his scholarship and began serving as an advisor to the Spanish Court on issues relating to East Asia. In 1627 he published an important recommendation that Spain not attempt to build a rival fort to the Dutch in Formosa, but rather devote itself simply to eradicating the Dutch presence on the island. Padre Sotelo was imprisoned and nearly executed by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1613, before being freed through the intervention of the fearsome, pro-Christian samurai, Date Masamune. Masamune and Sotelo subsequently conspired together to build a relationship between Masumane's realm and Rome and Spain, intended to help Masumane develop various technologies and establish a trade link with Mexico and, as murmurs had it, help Sotelo gain a bishop's chair in northern Japan. Masamune funded the ambitious 1613-18 Japanese embassy to Mexico, Spain, and Rome, which numbered 180 persons and was accompanied by Sotelo. Sotelo carried with him a letter in Latin from Masamune addressed to the Pope, often noted for its request for the Vatican to send him "as many padres as possible;" it has generally been assumed that Sotelo played a major role in the authorship of the letter. While extremely significant as the first known Japanese world voyage, the embassy ultimately failed to establish the ties it sought, in no small part because of news reaching Spain in 1616 of major renewed persecution of Catholics in Japan. After Christianity had been completely outlawed throughout the country (a policy to which Masamune reluctantly submitted), Sotelo sneaked back into Japan in 1622, was soon caught, and was executed by fire in 1624. He was immediately celebrated as a martyr and beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1867. The present work by Cevicos prints a Spanish translation of Masamune's letter and comments extensively on a controversy regarding a letter purported to have been written by Sotelo in prison shortly before his death, recently printed for Cevicos in Madrid. Only two copies of Cevicos' commentary have been located: one in the Max Besson Library of Japonica collection at the University of Tsukuba, and one recorded by EUROPEAN AMERICANA at the University of Grenada. Both Palau and EUROPEAN AMERICANA call for nineteen numbered leaves; however, this would seem to be an error, as this copy, with sixteen numbered leaves, begins with the "A" signature and ends at the conclusion of Cevicos' commentary with his printed signature and an ornamental cut clearly intended to conclude the text; nor would one expect an odd number of leaves in a folio collation. An extremely rare and fascinating volume, capturing the great breadth and complexity of Spain's tenuous relationship with Japan in the early 17th century.

		Two volumes. &#91;17],518,&#91;1]; &#91;13],365 leaves. Contemporary vellum, manuscript title on spines. Front joint of first volume cracked, other joints worn. Early bookplate on front pastedowns. Internally remarkably clean. A beautiful copy. Lopes de Castanheda is considered one of the definitive chroniclers of Portuguese activity in Asia. With the majority of the narrative focused on Persia, Arabia, China, and Molucca, this work is enhanced by the inclusion of details regarding the Portuguese exploration of Brazil. That Book One of the present work was first translated into French by Nicolas de Grouchy, Montaigne's instructor at the Collège de Guyenne, shows that it had a least a partial impact on Montaigne's understanding of the New World, shedding some light on some of the source material for his numerous ESSAYS. Most of the ...HISTOIRE... is devoted to the great Portuguese thrust into Asia in the early 16th century, chronicling their epic expansion to India, the East Indies, and China between 1497 and 1525. Castanheda himself spent some two decades in the Portuguese colonies in the East, and so was well equipped to write this account. It is one of the primary sources for the early Portuguese trading empire, a model that the British were beginning to emulate at the time of publication. Penrose says of the author: "...He wrote an impartial book of outspoken sincerity which was the fruit of years of residence in the East." However, this work is equally important for its American content, being the first to describe in detail the voyage of Cabral and his discovery of Brazil in 1500, while on his way out to the East Indies. Cabral's landing is the first recorded there, recounted in chapters 29-31 of the present work. The present work was translated from the author's HISTORIA DO DESCOBRIMENTO E CONQUISTA DA INDIA PELOS PORTUGUEZES, published between 1551 and 1561. It was translated by Alfonso Ulloa, translator of Fernando Columbus' biography of his father, Christopher Columbus. A beautiful set.

		&#91;4]pp. In Spanish. Decorative woodcut initial on first page. Small folio. Dbd. Minor chips at gutter, not affecting text; minor foxing. Very good. An exceptionally rare 17th-century Spanish newsletter reporting on the Dutch-Portuguese conflict in Macao in the 1620s. In the mid- 16th century the Portuguese established a permanent settlement at Macao, allowing them to serve as middlemen for trade between China and Japan and between those two countries and Europe. Around 1620, the Dutch aggressively began working to interrupt this trade and, in 1622, launched a direct attack on Macao, where they were repulsed by the Sino- Portuguese forces. The present pamphlet describes the subsequent Dutch retreat to the Pescadores Islands off the coast of Fukien, and their continued attacks on Macao and attempts to spoil Portuguese commerce. The document also discusses relations between the Portuguese and Chinese rulers, and missionary activities of the Jesuits in China. OCLC locates no physical copies.

		Two parts bound in one volume. &#91;28],281; &#91;2],211 leaves. Each with a separate titlepage. Ornate titlepage vignettes. Thick octavo. Contemporary paneled, blind-tooled pigskin, raised bands, manuscript title on spine, clasp remnants. Covers bowed. Old library stamps on front pastedown, front free endpaper, and titlepage. Contemporary manuscript ownership statement on titlepage. Internally clean. Near fine, in an attractive contemporary binding. Second edition, after the first of the previous year. Maffei's text is a classic work on the Jesuit missions in America, India, and Japan, with a biography of the Order's founder, Ignatius Loyola. The author spent twelve years in Lisbon composing his work from original sources, was one of the first Western historians to write about Asia, and is likely the first to mention the Japanese warlord, Oda Nobunaga, in a European work. According to Borba de Moraes, his extensive treatment of Brazil describes the region "very accurately," though the majority of the book is concerned with the Portuguese mission and Jesuit stations elsewhere in India, the East Indies, and parts of the Arabian Sea to about 1557. The fourth chapter discusses China, while the twelfth considers Japan. For his information on Japan, Maffei relied on the letters that had been written and sent to Europe by one of the prime chroniclers of the early Jesuit mission in Asia, Luis Frois. In 1569, Frois had been the first European to meet Nobunaga, having done so in Kyoto, which the warlord had recently captured. "Maffei's work is written with probity as well as elegance, for the Jesuit humanist was writing at a time when the 'Indian Letters' were being attacked for their falsities and exaggerations by leading figures in the Society both in Europe and Asia. It was prepared in the midst of a flurry of Jesuit activity which revolved about the related efforts of the young Society to prepare a history of its activities and to prepare biographies of its great founders: Loyola and Xavier" - Lach. A cornerstone Jesuit history by one of the Order's most celebrated scholars, uniting in one text a description of its mission across the globe. Scarce.

		Eight unnumbered leaves and eighty-eight numbered leaves. The two-leaf index, often missing, is supplied here in expert facsimile. Large woodcut map of Africa, southern Europe, and western Asia taking up most of the titlepage (second, corrected, issue with the Red Sea correctly named "Sinus Arabicus"). Small folio. Modern blue morocco by Riviere & Son, spine gilt and with raised bands, expertly rebacked, gilt inner dentelles, a.e.g. First three letters of title in expert pen facsimile, two other letters strengthened in pen. An occasional bit of minor worming, almost entirely confined to the side margins, touching the printed marginalia in a few instances. A very good copy. This copy bears the bookplates of noted voyage collector and scholar Boies Penrose, with his ink notes on the front pastedown. A monument in the history of voyages, this is the second issue of the first Latin- language edition of the first-ever printed collection of voyages. It is one of the most important collections of voyages ever printed, and a landmark in the field of Americana. This Milan 1508 edition is of even more importance for the large woodcut map, printed on most of the titlepage, showing all of Africa and much of southern Europe and western Asia. The earliest known map of Africa in which the entire continent is represented as surrounded by the ocean, this second issue of the map is distinguished by correctly naming the Red Sea as "Sinus Arabicus" (in the first issue it is denoted as "Sinus Persicus"). Montalboddo's work was first published in Italian in Vicenza in 1507, and this Latin edition, translated by the Milanese monk, Archangelo Madrignano, appeared the following year. Montalboddo's title promises accounts of "new unknown countries and a new world recently discovered." Sabin remarks that "unlike most modern works, its contents exceed the promise of its title." Montalboddo's collection is of primary interest for Americanists in its extremely early relation of the first three voyages of Columbus, and of the third voyage of Vespucci, in 1501-2. The importance of the Columbus and Vespucci accounts, however, should not overshadow the other important accounts of exploration in the Americas contained herein. Pedro Alvares Cabral's discovery of Brazil and further explorations in Africa and India in 1500-1 was first published in Montalboddo's collection. Furthermore, Gaspar Corte-Real's voyage in 1500 to the North Atlantic, during which he reached the coast of Greenland, is recounted in a letter by the Venetian ambassador to Portugal, who accompanied the explorer. Also included are accounts of the voyages of Alvise da Cadamosto to Cape Verde and Senegal in 1456, which appears for the first time in this collected work; Vasco da Gama's explorations of Africa and India in 1497-99; and the explorations of de Cintra in 1462, and of Alonso Nino and Pinzon. Letters by Venetian spies in Portugal, written in 1501-2 are printed as well. Henry Harrisse, among the foremost students of Montalboddo's work, calls it "the most important collection of voyages, and, in the absence of the LIBRETTO of Vercellese, now lost, the earliest...&#91;It is] a trustworthy and interesting source of information." According to the Church catalogue, two copies of the LIBRETTO of 1504 are now known, a complete copy at the John Carter Brown Library, and a copy lacking the titlepage at the Marciana Library in Venice. The LIBRETTO, however, only contains accounts of Columbus' voyages, and so it is still accurate to call the Montalboddo the first ever collection of diverse voyages (Harrisse never saw it). Harrisse notes that the two- page index "is said to be rarely found, either at the beginning or the end of the volume." Furthermore, Maggs Bros., in their offering of a Milan, 1508, Montalboddo in 1929 (priced £375), notes that "the index was apparently printed after the publication of the work and inserted into the few available copies, and so is almost invariably missing." The index is present here in an expert printed facsimile. "It may be regarded as foremost among the books to spread news of the discoveries in Asia and America to readers in Europe" - Bell. "This book is not a jewel, it is a cluster of jewels" - Rodrigues. "After Columbus' letters, this is the most important contribution to the early history of American discovery" - Sabin. "It is evident from the contents, and as Rodrigues observes, that everything in this book of great importance...A work of the greatest interest for Brazilians" - Borba de Moraes. Lawrence Wroth, quoted in AMERICANA BEGINNINGS, says Montalboddo's collection "has done more than any single agency to disseminate throughout Europe knowledge of the New Worlds of the West, the far South, and the far East." "The most important vehicle for the dissemination throughout Renaissance Europe of the news of the great discoveries both in the east and the west" - PMM. "One of the most important contributions to the early history of America" - Church catalogue. EUROPEAN AMERICANA locates only twelve institutional copies of this Milan edition. "This book is of excessive rarity" - Sabin. A handsomely printed edition with an extremely important map of Africa and western Asia. Very rare on the market, very desirable, and of primary importance in the history of the exploration of the Americas and of the first European penetration into the Far East and Africa.

		128pp. including full-page woodcut illustration on p.&#91;4]. 18th-century Spanish calf, spine gilt, gilt morocco labels. Calf a bit rubbed along spine. Faint old institutional ink stamp on titlepage and final page of text. A very neat and clean copy. Very good. In a half morocco box. A rare early 17th-century Italian edition of Marco Polo's description of his journey across Asia in the late 13th century, one of the most significant and resonant travel accounts in the history of human endeavor, and a key text in the perception in Europe of the East during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This edition, printed by Righettini in Trevi in 1627, is recorded in a single U.S. location. The work was a popular title for several generations of this firm, which also published editions in the same octavo format (and often with the same pagination) in 1590, 1640, 1657, 1665, and 1672. According to Yule, "these various editions are reprints of the &#91;first published Italian-language] text of 1496." Born into a prominent Venetian trading family, Marco Polo (1254-1324) departed with his father and uncle toward the East in 1271, travelling through Syria, Jerusalem, Turkey, Persia, and India, to China and the court of Kublai Khan. Marco Polo became a favorite of the Khan and travelled throughout China over the next fifteen years as an emissary of the Mongol emperor. Polo returned to Venice in 1295, only to be briefly imprisoned in Genoa as a prisoner of war a few years later. During this imprisonment, in 1298, he dictated his adventures to Rusticiano (also called Rustichello) of Pisa, and the text became known as IL MILIONE. (The exact meaning of this term in Polo's time is still unclear, although it may refer to the popular belief regarding the traveller's great riches.) The original work was written in Franco-Italic, and was quickly translated into Latin and other languages by court clerks. Over one hundred extant manuscript versions, translations, and adaptations are recorded. First printed in a German language edition in Nuremberg in 1477, a Latin translation followed circa 1485 (Christopher Columbus possessed a copy of this Latin edition). The immense popularity of Polo's account is reflected in the numerous editions which followed printed in German, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish, French, English, and Dutch. Polo's account includes vivid descriptions of cities, waterways, architectural monuments, industries, natural resources, plants, and animals as well as reports on customs and traditions. In addition to Cathay and Mangi (the Mongol name for South China), Polo writes of the native societies he visited in Tibet and southwestern China. Donald F. Lach, in his magisterial study, ASIA IN THE MAKING OF EUROPE, writes that "other Europeans lived and worked in China during the thirteenth century, but Marco Polo was the only one, so far as is known, to travel and work there and to write an account of his experiences. For the first time in history Europe possessed a detailed narrative about China and its neighbors based upon more than hearsay and speculation...Marco Polo provided Europe with the most comprehensive and authoritative account of the East produced before 1550." A rare early 17th-century Italian edition of Marco Polo's travels, one of the most celebrated travel accounts of all time. OCLC records a single location at Gordon College in Massachusetts, no copies in RLIN.

		&#91;180] leaves. 12mo. Original limp vellum, contemporary ink title on spine. Contemporary ink signature on titlepage, mild tanning. An internally clean and bright copy. In a half morocco and cloth box. A rare early 17th-century Spanish edition of Marco Polo's description of his journey across Asia in the late 13th century, one of the most significant and resonant travel accounts in the history of human endeavor, and a key text in the perception in Europe of the East during the late Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This edition, printed in Zaragoza in 1601, is the first edition of the Spanish translation by humanist Martin Abarca de Bolea y Castro of Marco Polo's travel narrative, which replaced the antiquated Spanish version first printed by Cromberger in Seville, 1503. Bolea y Castro, the son of the vice-chancellor of Spain under Charles V and Phillip II, was a scion of one of Aragon's leading families. A lover of literature and humanist ideology, with a predilection for numismatics, Bolea y Castro spent some time serving in Spain's military, although the exact length of his service is not known. Interestingly, this rare translation is his only prose work. Born into a prominent Venetian trading family, Marco Polo (1254-1324) departed with his father and uncle toward the East in 1271, travelling through Syria, Jerusalem, Turkey, Persia, and India, to China and the court of Kublai Khan. Marco Polo became a favorite of the Khan and travelled throughout China over the next fifteen years as an emissary of the Mongol emperor.

		Two volumes bound in one. First title in four parts: &#91;2],2,&#91;18],264; &#91;2],214; &#91;6],97; &#91;8],107-19,&#91;3]pp. including publisher's advertisements, plus twenty four engraved plates (one folding) and text illustrations. Second title in two parts: &#91;20],66,&#91;2]; 14,&#91;4],15-46,&#91;4],47-87,&#91;1]pp. including bookseller's advertisement, plus two maps on one folding leaf and eight engraved plates (six folding). Folio. 20th-century three quarter pebbled cloth over marbled boards, spine gilt. Ownership inscription on front fly leaf: "Thomas A. Wise 1852." First title: Contemporary manuscript annotations in margin of p.143 of second part. One plate with contemporary manuscript annotations crossed out. Second title: Clean tears in folding leaf with two maps expertly repaired (no loss). Three plates with contemporary manuscript annotation in upper margin crossed out; one plate torn at bottom (no loss of image, but caption text removed); one plate with contemporary manuscript annotation in upper margin crossed out and torn at bottom, affecting most of caption text; one plate with contemporary manuscript annotation. Very light age-toning, particularly at outer edges, occasional minor foxing and soiling. A very good copy. In a cloth clamshell box, leather label. A fine gathering in a single volume of the early English translations of Tavernier's renowned and informative accounts of his travels in Asia. Lach refers to the author as "one of the most celebrated travelers of the seventeenth century and one of its greatest authorities on the routes of Eastern travel and on the diamond mines of India." The son of a Parisian geographer, Tavernier completed six overland journeys to Turkey, Persia, and India between 1631 and 1668. "In 1676-77 at Paris, Tavernier published in two volumes LES SIX VOYAGES, one of the most popular books of the seventeenth century. The first volume is centered on Turkey and Persia; the second on India, Ceylon, and the East Indies. By 1712 this work was reprinted at least six times in French, three times in English, and one time each in German, Dutch, and Italian" - Lach. THE SIX VOYAGES... records Tavernier's extensive travels through India, Ceylon, Indonesia, and Persia. Lach writes that the VOYAGES, "are rich in materials on routes, traveling conditions, trading practices, the mines of Golconda &#91;in India], and the Dutch and English activities in the East. While Tavernier's contemporaries debated the authenticity of the VOYAGES, modern scholars agree that they constitute a valuable source for Indian history during the years from 1640 to 1667, or for almost a generation." The twenty-four plates include numerous engravings of coins and gems, reflecting the author's commercial activities, as well as images of town plans and scenes of local color. Two of the finely engraved plates provide examples of Arabic script. The second work, A COLLECTION OF SEVERAL RELATIONS & TREATISES SINGULAR AND CURIOUS, is the English translation of Tavernier's 1679 supplement to the original account of his six voyages. Composed of five separate parts based on the author's own observations and reports from other travellers, these accounts include descriptions of Japan (and Christian persecution there); French negotiations in Persia and India following the establishment of Colbert's East India Company; the kingdom of Tongking (now the northern part of Vietnam); the author's own observations on commerce in the East Indies; and Tavernier's highly critical remarks on "how the Hollanders manage their affairs in Asia." The two maps (on one folding leaf) are of Tonking and Japan; all eight plates show scenes of Tongking, including two related to funerary customs, one of pagodas, and one with fine detail of the costumes of the court. A fine set of the early English translations of Tavernier's celebrated and authoritative account of the East Indies.

Overall, good. A rare, virtually unknown, military manual for the use of Spanish troops in the Philippines. The text begins by describing the duties and requirements of all ranks, from common soldiers to sergeants, lieutenants, and captains. The subjects are very wide-ranging, covering rules for marches and formations, the display of the flag, requirements for military honors, regulations for hospital visits, and standards of horsemanship. Valdes is identified on the titlepage as being a Lieutenant in the battalion "Reyna Maria Luisa." Not in Medina's bibliography of Manila imprints (or in Retana's additions) or in Medina's bibliography of the Spanish in the Philippines.
