Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. ILLUSTRATED VOYAGE TO MALAYSIA GERMAN-MALAY PHRASEBOOK FIRST EDITION, first issue. 4to. pp. 167 (i) + 4 engraved plates. Gothic letter, with Roman, second part in double column. Charming engraved printer's device with maritime scene to title, 4 half-page engraved plates (first and second facing pp.4 and 6 respectively), decorated initials and ornaments. Browning, heavier to plates. A good, clean copy in modern calf. A good copy of the first enlarged edition (first issue) of this illustrated account in German of a voyage to the East Indies, under the command of Pieter Willemsz Verhuffen, made by the Dutch and Zealanders in 1607-12. This edition comprises the second section of Part XI first published in 1612, with a narrative reaching to 1609 only of Levinus Hulsius's (d.1606) famous collection of voyages. These the greatest voyages by European navigators were published separately, in 26 parts, from 1598 to 1660, by Hulsius and his successors (e.g., Erasmus Kempffer, as here) in Nuremberg and Frankfurt. Despite the numerous similarities, Hulsius's accounts are 'more useful, more curious and much rarer than the famed Collection of De Bry' (Asher, p.9). This eleventh voyage is based on memoirs by Johann Verkens of Leipzig 'the first elaborate accounts of a German voyager to the Malaysian Archipelago, the first by a German VOC employee to be published' (Mahdi, p.87) translated into German by Gotthardt Arthus, who had provided a near-identical translation for Part IX of De Bry's 'Voyages'. It provides daily accounts of the voyagers' meetings and battles in the Malaysian Archipelago, and occasionally Mauritius, especially with the Portuguese and the English. The handsome plates portray the siege of the town of Lebetacke, on the Banda Islands; a meeting between the Portuguese and Dutch, with European attacks against the native people; the siege of the city of Schlangen; and a marriage procession in Java. Half the work is devoted to German-Malay (pp.69-159) and German-Madagascan (pp.159-67) phrasebook, absent in De Bry's German translation. Divided into two columns, it provides Arthus' German translation of Frederick de Houtman's Dutch-Malay conversations, using simple common phrases rendered phonetically, of sundry conversations between hypothetical German and native speakers, concerning everyday subjects such as the arrival of a ship, the purchase of food, buying and selling generally, etc. Interestingly, 'many Malayisms seem not to originate from direct discourse with indigenous speakers. Some were apparently features of the speech of the local (so-called 'Indische') Dutch community. Shared by German colleagues in daily discourse, the words found their way into the German language. Consequently, besides exhibiting some predictable German-specific phonological modifications, some Malayisms [] also exhibited particularities of assimilation into Dutch' (Mahdi, p.124).

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. [WITH A SOLDIER-POET'S EXPERIENCE OF THE SIEGE OF WOLFENBÜTTEL] FIRST EDITION. 4to. pp. (viii) 165 (i) 322, without final blank and the 36 pp. grammar, collated separately. Gothic letter, with Roman, mostly double column. Engraved t-p with female figures of the arts of the Trivium and Quadrivium, and arms of Frederick IV, Elector Palatine, handsome ½-page engraved arms of Frederick IV within roundel on first leaf, decorated woodcut initials and ornaments. Varying browning (poor quality paper), minor ink spots in a few places, small oil stain to blank margins of few ll., small ink burn affecting word on first O2, small clean tear to outer blank margin of first Q3, small worm trail to lower or outer blank margin of couple of gatherings, few ll. lightly dampstained. A good, well-used copy in contemporary vellum over boards, lacking rear fep, traces of ties, yapp fore-edge, spine and extremities rubbed, one band cracked, a.e.r. Slightly later annotations of German words and their translations to front and rear pastedowns, Italian account of siege of Wolfenbüttel by Luigi Rusca (1627), contemporary recipe for medicament and slightly later ex-libris of Count Giovanni Battista Albani to ffep, contemporary inscription highlighted in red 'Io Luigi Rusca l'ho compro in Basilea', 'Pirro Melzo' and 'Pirri Meltii' on t-p, indistinct German inscription and 'Pirro Melzo' to X4, occasional notes in text. This copy was purchased in Basle by Luigi Rusca (fl. first half of the C17), a poet from Como. His compositions were influenced by the Renaissance pastoral tradition; his 'Pastor Infido', printed in Como in 1622, was deemed 'for stylistic elegance not inferior to [Guarini's] "Pastor fido"' ('Il rusco', 7). The long inscription on the fep, written by Rusca in 1627, provides an account of the reconquest of Wolfenbüttel during the Thirty Years' War. He writes that on August 15 he was travelling on the boat of General Pappenheim heading towards Wolfenbüttel, 'the fortified city of the Duke of Brandenburg' then occupied by the army of Christian IV of Denmark. The siege started on August 28 and they entered the city on Christmas Eve. Rusca was injured on January 1, being on the verge of death for a month; he was 'martyrized' ('fui martirizato') with three blood-lettings to treat his high temperature, and had to live on beer for eight days as it was the only nourishment he managed to retain. It was impossible to find chicken or veal even by promising good money. Due to his health he was first left at Wolfenbüttel and only later sent for by his fellow soldiers even though he was still unwell. The uninviting ointment recipe on the fep may therefore relate to his illness: olive oil, jasmine, oats, a drop of urine, rat's blood and willow leaves. His full account of the siege, not including his later illness, was published in the same year, in Como, as 'Historia di Luigi Rusca dell'assedio della fortissima città di Volfenbutel', dedicated to Cardinal Borromeo. Rusca would have made good use of his dictionary during the military expeditionan important linguistic instrument, here in the scarce first edition, and one of several, including some for French, produced by Levinus Hulsius. Born in Belgium, Hulsius (1546-1606) settled in Nuremberg in the late 1580s, became a notary, one of the earliest traders in mathematical-astronomical instruments, and, from 1596, also a writer and publisher of scientific books, dictionaries and geographical works such as a Latin and German edition of Sir Walter Raleigh's 'Description of Guiana'. This dictionary included a short grammatical introduction to Italian and German, here removedprobably by Rusca as it would have been of less practical useand two sections (German into Italian and Italian into German) with words commonly used in everyday conversation. Of great use to Rusca would have been the dozen kinds of fevers listed ('erratic', 'daily', 'tertian', etc.) in Italian, with their German translation, and specific m.

Gr. H 16,5 x 10 cm. H.Leder geb. kl.8° mit Goldpräg. (Einband d.Zt.) 14,305, 6 p. S. mit 150 Kupfer-Stichen ( beidseitige Abbildung von Münzen ) Lipsius Rare numismatic-biographical work by Levinus Hulsius (ca. 1546-1606), a publisher, author, translator and compilator, as well as a mathematician, technician and a man of languages. He was born in Ghent in Flanders, but as a Calvinist Hulsius in 1584 had to flee his country, first to Heidelberg where he opened a school at Frankenthal. About 1590 he went to Nuremberg, where his real career and success started. Hulsius first worked as a language teacher and a public notary, but he now became in the first place an author, translator and a compilator, and by the way also a publisher and bookseller, as he used to publish all his own works, which were most impressive both in number and in the wide variety of subjects. Hulsius still is famous for his publication of a collection of early voyages of exploration which he himself adapted and translated into the German and which was continued after his death, published in 26 volumes between 1598 and 1650. He published a treatise on the use of the quadrant, as well as the present biographies of the Roman Emperors, illustrated with ancient coins, mainly from his own collection. But Hulsius' greatest merit no doubt was due to his composing and publishing the first French-German and German-French dictionary .( Titelbl. fehlt ist ersetzt d. K., sonst guter Zustand).

4to., (7 4/8 x 6 inches). Vignette title-page (some light browning). Modern red morocco, gilt. Provenance: with the small library label of Wolfgang A. Herz on the front paste-down, his sale Important Voyages and Travels, 9th December 2009, lot 137 First edition in German of Part 15 of Hulsius's famous collection of travel accounts published between 1598-1650. This volume is a translation of Robert Coverte's "A true and almost incredible Report of an Englishman, that (being cast away in the good Ship called The Assention, in Cambaya, the farthest Part of the East Indies) Travelled by Land through many unknowne Kingdomes, and Great Cities." first published in 1612. Coverte and his men were among the first Englishmen to see the Cape of Good Hope, in July 1608. Penrose describes this account as a "vigorous narrative.it relates its author's reception by the Emperor Jahangir, and his tedious journey across India, Afghanistan, and Persia, and as such is one of the best examples of a travel journal that the period produced." "This celebrated collection of voyages, which was doubtless suggested by the success that had attended the publications of the series by the brothers De Bry: is in some respects an imitation of these., in others it is superior" (Sabin). Indeed de Bry did publish Coverte's account in the second section of Part XI of his "Small Voyages". Church 306; JCB 1: 493; Sabin 33668. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

Einband berieben, bestossen und etwas verschmutzt; durchgehend etwas fleckig, jedoch authentisches Exemplar des äusserst seltenen Wörterbuchs! Besitzereintrag von Ital (Ittell) Reding von Biberegg. Levinus Hulsius (um 1550-1606) war vor allem bekannt durch seine Verlegertätigkeit mit Astronomie-Büchern und des Handels mit mathematisch-astronomischen Geräten. Wohl in Zusammenhang mit seiner Tätigkeit als Sprachlehrer (er gründete in Frankenthal eine Französisch-Sprachschule) gab er 1596 ein französisch-deutsches und 1606 ein italienisch-deutsches Wörterbuch heraus. Aus diesen, und unter der Mithilfe von Ravelli wurde von Hulsius' Nachkommen eine dreisprachige Ausgabe als 5. Auflage (=erste dreisprachige Ausgabe) editiert (vergl.: Peter O. Müller: Deutsche Lexikographie des 16. Jahrhunderts).
