First edition in Latin of a beautifully illustrated Dutch Royal Entree book, with all of the plates in their first states. Published simultaneously in French and in Latin, it is the first official description of an entrance in the Northern Netherlands, a tradition which had flown over from the South. The ceremonial entry of Marie de' Medici (1575-1642) was an important moment in the history of Amsterdam. Although her presence was a politically sensitive issue, she was received with great honour. The present work, complete with all 17 engravings, is a beautiful visual and textual homage to this event.The work is especially known for its impressive plates, which are known to have had either two or three different states, depending on the plate. In the present copy, all plates are in their first state. This is easily recognisable by the lack of numbers and inscriptions at the very bottom of the plates, as well as by other details, such as the white background on the frontispiece portrait of Marie de' Medici, which shows a view of Amsterdam in later states, and the headless dog in the foreground of the final plate. Copies with plates in the first state are the most rare, as the plates were numbered to assist in managing the greater number of copies being produced. They are also usually larger than those with plates in later states, as is the case here.The beautiful plates were drawn and engraved by different artists. Nine were engraved after Claes Moeyaert (1592-1655), who designed the triumphal arch built for De' Medici's entry, as well as the dramatic tableaux based on her life that were shown to her. These 9 engravings depict these tableaux. The portrait of Marie de' Medici, is drawn after a painting by Gerard van Honthorst (1592-1656). The remaining 7 plates, engraved by Salomon Savery (1594-1666), represent the festival in exceptional detail. The folding plate, for example, shows the hundreds of boats and ships in the IJ, with the city in the background. The other topographic plates show the old city hall (burned down in 1652) and weigh house (demolished in 1808) on the Dam, and the triumphal arches built for the occasion (1 on an artificial island). Some copies also include an extra plate of the four burgomasters of Amsterdam which is not present here, but according to Muller this plate was not orignally intended to be a part of the work, so copies without it are not incomplete.Marie de' Medici was the wife of King Henry IV (1553-1610). After he was murdered, she became the regent of France until her son, Louis XIII (1601-1643), came of age in 1614. However, she refused to resign and continued as regent until she was removed by a coup in 1617. She initially reconciled with her son, but lost his trust when she became part of a political conspiracy, and was forced to go into exile in 1631. She arrived in the Northern Netherlands in 1638, where her visit was seen as official recognition of the Dutch Republic (1579-1795). Because of this, she was welcomed in Amsterdam with spectacular displays, water pageants, a procession, and a series of dramatic tableaux in tribute to her. However, her presence caused political difficulties with France and she was encouraged to leave after a few months. She sailed to England in October 1638, and died a few years later in Cologne.The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed, the boards and spine are rubbed, the board are slightly dust soiled.

The history of Dutch Brazil during governorship of John Maurice of Nassau, appointed in 1636; written by Caspar Barlaeus (1584-1648), a Dutch polymath and Renaissance humanist; originally published in Latin in 1647. The title page is followed by the author's dedicatory preface to John Maurice; the main text is followed by a general index. The copy features an engraved title and 7 double-page copperplates (most of them detached, never bound into the volume): vista of Brazilian landscape with coats of arms (facing p. 212), map of Dutch Brazil (p. 352), vista of the Palace of Friburgo (p. 418), map of Recife and its surroundings (p. 422); vista of Mauritsstad (p. 422), map of Brasil and Africa (p. 569), vista of Luanda, Angola (p. 569). These engravings of Brazilian northeastern locales, fleets and maps were for 160 years the main references to Brazilian landscapes available in Europe, and are well known by Brazilians today as the most important examples of pre-national art. Three plates are missing: John Maurice's portrait; his coat of arms; depiction of the battle near Porto Calvo (facing p. 111). Fraktur typeface; the title page contains the printer's device, other pages are decorated with two woodcut headpieces. /// Parchment binding with coloured edges; hardback, [22]+848+[20] pp., engraved title + 7 plates, 12° (10 x 16.5 cm), cover worn and rubbed, top edge darkened, starting hinge, spine cracked (text block still holds together), endpapers with a few bookworm traces, free front endpaper foxed and partly detached, some pages yellowed, several plates slightly creased along edge, with small tear(s) on fold, other signs of wear and age are rare (small water stain, minor pen underlining and marginalia, tiny chips and tears), condition: good Book Language/s: German.…

Without the plate of a sun-eclipse present in part of the copies. Second Latin edition of this famous history of Dutch rule in Brazil under Johan Maurits van Nassau from 1637 to 1644. The first edition in folio is extremely rare and valuable, since most copies and the plates were lost in a fire at the workshop of the printer Blaeu. The plates and maps of this edition are identical with those in the German edition of 1659. The plate of the sun-eclipse was not present in that edition and seems to have been added to a part of this Latin edition only. The present edition has added some contributions to the natural history of Brazil by Johan Maurits' physician Willem Piso. *Sabin 3409. …

In the present copy, all plates are in their second state. This is easily recognisable by the lack of numbers at the very bottom of the plates, but the addition of the view of Amsterdam on the frontispiece portrait of Marie de' Medici, and the coats-of-arms at the top of the folding plate with the view of Amsterdam from the IJ.

This is the case here, as the present copy is extremely large, with very ample margins.The beautiful plates were drawn and engraved by different artists.

First edition, the most famous book published on Brazil of the 17th century, sumptuously illustrated with double page and folding maps and views of Brazilian ports and cities. All illustrations were inspired by Frans Post, who - together with Caspar Barlaeus - accompanied Johan Maurits van Nassau on his trip to Brazil. This is the folio edition, coveted by collectors over the small and far more common 8vo edition. "One of the most beautiful books on Brazil of this period" and of "inestimable documentary value" (Borba de Moraes).Barlaeus (1584-1648), or Caspar van Baerle, was a poet, writer, and one of the great 17th century Dutch humanists. He was commissioned to write an account of the on the government of Maurits van Nassau, Governor-General of Dutch Brazil from 1637-1644, in Pernambuco by the Prince himself. The book is a significant account of influential however short-lived Dutch colonial empire in Brazil, considered by Sabin to be a "magnificent work" and a great rarity due to a fire that consumed much of Blaeu's stock. The maps and views were the main European reference source of the Brazilian landscape for 160 years. ". Barlaeus interwove passages about Johan Maurits s actions as governor with descriptions of the geography, the flora and fauna, the population and the sugar plantations in the colony. His history painted a picture of a colonial administration that endeavored to be fair to everyone. Johan Maurits and his fellow governors appeased the Portuguese and the other population groups by means of a carefully-weighed balance of military presence and measures aimed at promoting prosperity and cooperation. They maintained sufficient troops to suppress any rebellion that might threaten They protected the Indians in the colony from slavery in another guise, placed them under the authority of their own village elders and recruited them as auxiliary forces by rewarding them appropriately. They made allies of savage, cannibal Indians from the outlying areas and tried to civilize them. By promoting economic recovery, Johan Maurits and his fellow administrators did the whole population, including the black slaves, a service. They stopped the extortion of plantation owners by local commanders and restored peace and order to rural areas. They protected the inhabitants against the Portuguese incursions from Bahia and against raids by marauding Maroons in southern Pernambuco. By resuming the import of slaves and by selling on credit they ensured that the worforces on the plantations grew and sugar production increased. They promoted regulated free trade between the colony and the Netherlands to replace the WIC monopoly. This created the opportunity to establish fair prices for Brazilian exports and European imports and encouraged trade with the home country Barlaeus was consequently able to conclude his history with praise for the governor" (Van den Boogaart, Ernst.
