Francis was chosen for this purpose, and, with a party of priests, set sail in the year 1589. After leaving Panama the ship was overtaken by a storm, and being thought no longer safe was abandoned by the crew; but Francis, taking pity on the unhappy creatures left behind, many of whom were blacks and unbaptised, resolved to share their fate. For some days the ship bore up; but after a time a portion was split away, the hinder portion sinking, and the fore part, upon which the Saint was found, still remained afloat, until a boat came to their relief and conveyed the remaining portion of its unhappy crew to shore. Here their troubles were far from being at an end. It was a barren coast upon which they were landed, and it needed all the Saint's patience and skill to prevent fierce quarrels over the scanty food which was found, and often he appeased the hunger of the famishing wretches by a miraculous drawing of fish to shore. A crew was sent back to Panama in a small boat, and after sixty days a ship returned and conveyed them back to safety. St. Francis then began missionary life in earnest. Peru and Tucuman were the principal scenes of his labour; but the last five years he preached chiefly at Lima"--Legends of the Blessed Sacrament ; "pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; crease on cover ; slight wear, else VG.

1st Edition. Single sheet, float-mounted and framed (11 x 13 2/8 inches; 23 x 24 4/8 inches). A fine engraved map of the world by P. Troeschel on a gnomonic projection from the North Pole, this map is the central vignette surrounded by 10 others, the title in a frame surrounding the top central vignette of a wind dial, dated 1607, all surrounded by a decorative floriated border. FIRST EDITION, AND AN EXTREMELY RARE AND VERY UNUSUAL MAP, showing the world projected from the North Pole as if it were the table of a sundial, with the land masses drawn to scale in proportion to their distance from the Pole. The result is a very distorted, though mathematically correct, projection, which can be used to locate local sun time. First published as here in Ritter's "Speculum solis; das ist, Sonnenspiegel. Beschreibung unnd unterricht, derer in das kupffer gestochenen sonnenuhren, in welcher der gantze lauff der sonnen, unnd dess mondten durch deroselben schatten zu sehen ist", in the later edition of 1610 the map is much larger and was subsequently re-issued in that format. The other vignettes depict alternative ways in which other civilisations have recorded the passage of time. Shirley 270; Woodward, David.
