Zustand: New. pp. 900.

3 parts in 1 volume. First and only edition of an extensive and important history and description of Amsterdam, richly illustrated with nearly 120 maps, plans, and views. It is a compilation of several of the most important works on Amsterdam, published separately in 1663 and 1664, which were brought together, edited, and updated by the Amsterdam historian and director (Regent) of the Amsterdam Theatre, Tobias van Domselaer (1611-1685) under whose name the work became known. It gives a very good impression of the time when Amsterdam grew into one of the most important cities of the world.The work is divided into 6 "books." Book I is taken from Arnoldus Montanus' 1664 Beschrijvinge der Eerste Inwoonders van Amstellandt . Books II-IV are expanded from the 1664 Beschrijvingh der Wijdt-vermaarde Koop-stadt Amstelredam, nominally a third edition of Melchior Fokkens's 1662 description, but a considerably different text, said to be the work of Domselaer and Commelin. Books V & VI are attributed mostly to Olfert Dapper and apparently updated from his 1663 Historische Beschryving der Stadt Amsterdam, including information about, for example, the weekly number of burials for the whole of 1663 and 1664 and the division of burials among the various churches. The appendix lists city officials up to and including the year 1665, and ministers of the Dutch Reformed church.The Haarlem Courant for 29 September 1665 announced the work's publication. It is typographically interesting, with some types cut by Christoffel van Dijck, but also some not cut by him that appear to be new at this date, including the rare Ascendonica (about 24 point) italic used for many of the chapter headings.The edges and corners of the boards are somewhat scuffed, the top of the spine is torn, without losses, lacking part of the headband, the boards are somewhat rubbed and scratched. Internally lightly browned and foxed. Otherwise in good condition.l Nijhoff & V.

Provenance: Frank Sherwin Streeter (1918-2006) (Collection of Important Navigation, Pacific Voyages, Cartography and Science), his sale 17th April 2007, lot 395. First edition in English, from works mistakenly attributed to Montanus on the title-page, but in fact a translation of Olfert Dapper's work published the year before in Dutch as "Gedenkwaerdig Bedryf der Nederlandsche Oost-Indische Maetschappye op de Kuste en in het Keizerrijk van Taising of Sina" Amsterdam: Jacob van Meurs, 1670. Clearly bound without the general map of China and one other map sometimes recorded. John Ogilby had led a full and interesting life even before began printing the famous series of travel books that bear his name, of which "America" is the second (preceded by "Africa" in.). He was an investor in the Virginia Company lottery, a reknowned dancer, even owning his own dancing school and dancing before the King, founder and managing director of the first theatre in Dublin. Ogilby only turned to publishing after an accident left him lame and he was no longer able to dance, and the rise to power of Oliver Cromwell made frivolities like dancing unfashionable.
