About This Item
Leyden, van der Aa, 1705-1706. Small 8vo (17.3 x 11.3 cm). 144 pp.; six larger, folded, engraved plates. Bound with two other works published by van der Aa: Scheeps-togt na Gujana, 44 pp. with a foldout map of Guyana [AND] Zee-Togt van kapitein Charles Leigh, gedaan na Gujana. 40 pp., also with a map of Guyana and adjacent areas, and a large, folded, engraved plate of an attack by local tribes. Both with their own title pages with engraved vignette and index. Bound in later, very fine half morocco over cloth boards. Spine with five raised gilt-stippled bands; compartments with gilt borders and gilt titles. Marbled endpapers. = A rare work on the voyage of Jean d'Ezqebel, who was sent on an expedition to the island of Jamaica by Diego Columbus in 1510, sailing from Hispaniola. The book also contains an account of Diego Velasquez's voyage to Cuba in 1511. The fine illustrations show encounters with the inhabitants of the islands, the building of a boat, etc. The two other shorter works in this volume describe voyages to the Guianas. The fine map in Harcourt's work shows the whole region from Mayaguana (Bahamas) and Turks & Caicos islands in the north to Pará in south, including the Orinoco and Amazon, and a large mythical lake, "Parime Lacus". The Leig - or Leigh - work has a very similar map, that is a bit larger but shows a slightly more restricted area, and is different in the topographical names and the engraved illustration. Fore edge uncut. Two tiny holes in the Leig(h) map; some light spotting, but generally clean. A very good copy. Sabin 3; Tiele 5.
