AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Interesting composition drawn from the original notes of the explorer Vincent le Blanc and edited by the geographers Pierre Bergeron (1580-1637) and Louis Coulon (1605-1664). This work enjoyed popularity in the 17th century and was reprinted several times, including an English translation that appeared in 1660. Divided into three parts, the first part recounts Le Blanc's voyages to Africa, Asia, America, and the Arctic. Some of the narrative is undoubtedly based on fact, while other parts are fantastical. The second part explores scientific questions, while the third is a French history. Of particular interest are the details on Africa, a long section on Greenland, and a discourse on volcanoes. 4to (25 x 18cm), [xiv], 424pp., 360pp. Some staining and small hole to title-page, a bit of occasional light foxing. Rebound in lovely modern full calf with ornately gilt spine. Sabin records the first edition as published in 1648-1649.
