Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. An excellent, tall copy with broad margins. Bound in early 20th c. green morocco with a large central arabesque, gilt, at the center of each board (hinges heavily rubbed and just starting but sound, some wear to the corners and board edges.) Illustrated with an engraved title-page, engraved portrait, double-page engraved map of Mexico, engraved sectional title-page, and twenty-two engraved plates, with printed explanatory text. Short, slim printer's crease at the top of the map and a short split at the foot, just entering the image but with no loss. This book constitutes the fifth part of Theodor de Bry's "Grand Voyages" ("America"), the most famous collection of travel narratives from the Americas, printed in fourteen parts from 1590 to 1634. The text of Part V is a translation of the second book of Girolamo Benzoni's influential "Historia del Mondo Nuovo", in which Benzoni narrates his experiences in the New World and gives an unflinching account of the Spaniards' brutal treatment of the Amerindians and Africans whom they enslaved. He gives a great deal of ethnographic detail, describing the various Indigenous societies he encountered, modes of dress and ornamentation, economies, religious practices, etc.; as well as notes on flora and fauna. First printed in 1565, Benzoni's work would prove enormously popular. Its popularity would increase dramatically with this deluxe edition published by de Bry, who amplified the text with new, striking illustrations. These 22 large engravings, accompanied by explanatory text, include images of Indigenous social practices, the Amerindians' encounters with the Europeans -including acts of resistance, such as open warfare and an assassination attempt- and the aforementioned tortures inflicted upon them. Also depicted are battles between the Spaniards and the French (in some of which Indigenous warriors participated), the French sack of Havana, and scenes of events described by Benzoni that occurred before his arrival in the New World (Hernando de Soto's barbarous treatment of the Floridians and Cortés' men attacking a Mexica social gathering). The letterpress text that accompanies each image explain the scene. Plate X shows an Amerindian market in Colombia. "The people of the province of Cartagena have plenty of fruit, fish, and other necessities, and poisoned arrows for weapons. Their trade goods are salt, fish, and pepper, carried inland in exchange for other things. In time of peace they held great markets in grain, fruit, cotton, feathers, feather cloaks, gold ornaments, gems, emeralds, and slaves, each taking only what he needed 'without any mark of avarice,' saying 'take this, give me that.' Food is what they value most, though many have now learned from our example to prize wealth, a desire that has cooled in most of them." In addition to these illustrations, the book features a double-page map of Mexico, "tabula chorographica Novae Hispaniae" (A recent and true description of New or Great Spain), copied, with some changes and additions, from Ortelius' "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" (1579). De Bry has populated his map with Native Americans and bison, and has added notes about the inhabitants of various lands: the Guachichiles ("go naked, live under the open sky, intent only on hunting"), the Tepehuanes (gens fera sine legibus, "a fierce people without laws"), and the Chichimecas, "A people wandering far and wide and living under the open sky". In the same region "the Anthropophagi [the maneaters]-are the ones who inhabit these mountains." The book opens with an engraved portrait of Columbus, which de Bry claimed that this portrait was engraved by his son, Jean (or Johann), and was copied from a painting of Columbus commissioned by the King and Queen of Spain, now lost. The portrait, however, was copied from a painting by Sebastiano del Piombo (Sebastiano Luciani). No images of Columbus are known to have been taken from life. De Bry opines that if the avaricious Spanish had followed the e.…

4to. (10 5/8 x 8 inches). Engraved architectural title-page with engraved portrait of the author on verso, 9 preliminary leaves, large folding map of the Low Countries "Leo Belgicus," 208 unnumbered double-page engraved plates on guards, and 2 engraved calendars on verso of penultimate leaf. Expert marginal restoration to title and one leaf. 18th-century red morocco, armorial binding with gilt central device of a crown atop a shield surrounded by laurel, gilt cornerpieces with acorns and flowers, spine with raised bands forming six compartments tooled gilt, all edges gilt, marbled pastedowns Provenance: "Collegium Societatis Jesu Bruxellis 1643 M.B." (manuscript annotation preserved and laid in on front free flyleaf) A richly illustrated 1588 edition of Eytzinger's celebrated history of the Dutch Revolt, with the famous "Leo Belgicus" map and 208 double-page engravings by Frans Hogenberg, presenting the Low Countries in the form of a lion and recording the political, military, and religious violence of the Eighty Years' War. Eytzinger's Novus de Leone Belgico is among the most visually distinctive historical works of the later sixteenth century. First published in 1583, it introduced the "Leo Belgicus," the cartographic conceit that transformed the Low Countries into the body of a lion. The form drew on the heraldic lions of the provinces and of William of Orange, and it became one of the most enduring symbolic images of the Netherlands during the struggle against Spanish rule. In the present edition, the large folding map stands at the threshold of a vast engraved chronicle of revolt, siege, repression, and political crisis. The work follows events in the Low Countries from 1559 to 1587, arranging the history under the governors of Philip II of Spain. Eytzinger, an Austrian nobleman, diplomat, and historian, wrote for a European political audience, addressing the kings of Spain and Hungary while presenting the Low Countries as a territory whose geography and history could be read together. The title's "Belgicus" refers to the historic Low Countries, encompassing the region before the later separation of the northern and southern Netherlands. The 208 double-page engravings show battles, sieges, city views, executions, massacres, ceremonial entries, military encampments, naval actions, and scenes of destruction. Hogenberg's plates transform recent history into a sequence of vivid visual reports, combining topographical detail with polemical immediacy. Seen together with the "Leo Belgicus" map, they make the volume both a historical narrative and a graphic atlas of conflict. The 1588 edition is a substantially enlarged form of a work that had expanded through successive issues. The first edition of 1583 contained 112 plates; later editions added both text and engravings as the war continued. Graesse describes the 1588 edition as the last and rarest of the early series. The present copy bears the imprint of Gerard van Campen on the colophon. Brunet I: 122-123; Graesse I: 49; Adams, VD 16, 4771, Adams, E-1175 (first edition).…
