(Werken uitgegegeven door de Linschoten-Vereeniging, 49).The voyage of discovery of Jacob le Maire and Willem Cornelisz. Schouten (1615-1617) was a daring expedition that discovered a new sea route to the Pacific Ocean via Cape Horn. Their discovery of the Le Maire Strait and the Southern Passage bypassed the VOC's trade monopoly. They sailed aboard the ships 'Eendracht' and 'Hoorn' under the auspices of Isaac le Maire, Jacob's father. Despite the legal conflict with the VOC upon their return, the discovery remained crucial for the world map. Their experiences are recorded in detailed journals, which were later published and annotated, including in this edition.

(4), 83, 9, 11, small tear to front free endpaper repaired, otherwise in very good condition. This is a Latin edition published in Amsterdam of Herrera's very rare original work published in Madrid in 1601. This collection of voyages is often referred to as an edition of Herrera, which is not strictly correct. It is important for including the first printed official account of Jacob le Maire's voyage 1615-17 that discovered Cape Horn and a further route to the Pacific Ocean. The maps accompanying the Herrera part were faithfully taken from the earlier work, even to the extent that le Maire's insular Tierra del Fuego, reported in the same work, is not depicted. Neither for that matter is an insular California as delineated on the title page.Antonio de Herrera y Tordesillas (1559â1625) was born in the region of Segovia into a noble family. He became the official Spanish historian to King Philip II, III, and IV of Spain and as such had remarkable access to the archives. Indeed, he was responsible for recording the Americas as early as 1596. In 1601 he published the 'Description de las Indias Occidentales', one of the most comprehensive histories of the America's yet published. It was accompanied by 14 maps largely derived from Lopez de Velasco manuscripts. Many of Herrera's sources have been lost to us over time which makes his work even more valuable.In 1622 Michiel Colijn re-published the work in Latin, Dutch, and French. This Latin edition was translated by Caspar Barleus (1584-1648) whose three-page Preface dedicates the work to the States General. Following Herrera's account on 'Fol. 45' is the 'Ephemerides sivà Descriptio Navigationis Australis' which describes Le Maire's voyage illustrated with a map. It includes a list of the voyages which had passed through into the Pacific since the time of Magellan. This is followed by the 'Descriptio Indiae Occidentalis' by Petro Ordonnez de Cevallos and the 'Brevis ac succincta Americae, sive Novi Orbis omniumque, quae in eo sunt, regionum hactenus exploratarum descriptio, excerpta à tabulis geographicis' by Petrus Bertius.It is difficult to overestimate the impact of Le Maire's voyage. He set out with Willem Cornelis Schouten with the aim of finding another route to the Spice Islands that did not involve going through the monopolised Straits of Magellan. In rounding Cape Horn, they opened the way for future travellers into the Pacific. They went onto prove that the great southern continent was not connected to South America or New Guinea. The Dutch East India Company seized Le Maire's vessel and diary following their arrival in the East Indies. It was not until this work that Le Maire's father was able to get back his son's journals and publish them.The title page to the whole is significant as it includes a map of the American continent. "This small map's chief claim to fame is in being the first map to delineate California as an island. It is a legend on the Henry Briggs map of 1625 that informs us of the probable source of this geographical anomaly. It is a map taken from a Spanish vessel by the Dutch and is assumed to be that accompanying Friar Antonio de la Ascension's written account of October 1620 intended for the Council of the Indies and the King of Spain. In it he presents his firm belief in California as an island. The map does not survive but Briggs mentions in 1622 having seen in London a Dutch map showing such an island. The publisher of this expanded edition of Herrera's work, Michiel Colijn, gives no explanation for its use. He even includes a peninsular California in the general map of the same work. The origins of the myth go back further in history." (Burden).

'All first editions in oblong format are rare and much sought after' (Borba de Moraes, p.828). The maps include the Straits of Magellan, Le Maire's route (showing the strait he discovered round the east of Tierra del Fuego and which is named after him), and the East Indies. The world map shows the routes of both Spilbergen and Le Maire and, in a rectangular panel at the bottom, Le Maire's discoveries along the northern coast of New Guinea (Shirley 304). Among the plates are portrayals of battle-scenes, various ports on the Pacific coast of Spanish America as far north as Acapulco, Manila Bay, and various harbours and islands in the western Pacific and Indonesia.The Speculum orientalis occidentalisque Indiae the 'East and West Indian mirror' narrates two highly important Dutch expeditions to the East Indies via South America and across the Pacific. The first, a powerful East India Company (VOC) fleet under the command of Spilbergen, was essentially predatory, raiding Spanish shipping and settlements; it also aimed to assert the VOC's exclusive passage to the Pacific through the Strait of Magellan, countering challenges by its Dutch rivals. After clearing the Strait, Spilbergen's fleet worked its way up the South American coast, sacking Spanish settlements and attacking Spanish shipping, until it reached Acapulco. It then crossed the Pacific to the Philippines and Ternate, where it hoped to intercept the Spanish force rumoured to be about to descend on the Dutch outposts in the Moluccas. Finally, Spilbergen headed for Batavia, where he encountered Jacob Le Maire and Willem Corneliszoon Schouten, whose expedition is the other voyage recounted in this volume. Their papers, ship (the Eendracht) and crew were immediately seized by the VOC, which saw this independent venture as a serious infringement of its monopoly, and Le Maire and Schouten were taken back to the Netherlands with Spilbergen. Spilbergen's expedition was not intended to be one of 'discovery', but it nevertheless stands out as being exceptionally well-managed, the fifth circumnavigation of the globe, and 'the first to sail half-way round the world with a whole fleet well in hand' (SpateII, p.21).Jacob Le Maire and Schouten had been sent by the Australische Compagnie, formed by Isaac Le Maire (Jacob's father), to discover a new passage to the Pacific south of the Strait of Magellan, thereby circumventing the VOC's exclusive rights, and to trade in any lands they discovered in the South Pacific hopes of finding the southern continent promised in Quiros's memorials were high. They were successful in their first objective, sailing to the Le Maire Strait, which separates Tierra del Fuego from Staten Island, and into the Pacific round Cape Horn (named after Hoorn, their home base), but the southern continent proved elusive. Although commercially motivated, their expedition may be considered as 'the one genuine voyage of Oceanic exploration between Quiros and Tasman' (ibid., p.23). Le Maire died at sea on the way home with Spilbergen, but after several years' litigation his father successfully sued the VOC for the return of his son's journal and was awarded damages.STCN 06262928X; US.

Le Maire, a wealthy Dutch merchant, established The Australian Company ("Australische of Zuid Compagnie") to break the monopoly of the Dutch East Indies Company (VOC), find the presumed fabulously wealthy Terra Australis, and at the same time find an alternative route via the Southern tip of South America to the East Indies, previously controlled by the Portuguese until the advent of the VOC.

Folio (302 x 196 mm.), 196 pages, with 15 illustrations in colour and black & white printed on Raleigh Oxford cream paper; hand-bound in quarter alum-tawed goat skin with marbled paper sides. A beautifully produced facsimile. long out of print, in an edition that was strictly limited to 900 copies. The fifth publication in the Australian Maritime Series, this includes a 96-page exact facsimile of the rare original Dutch printing of 1622, accomapnied by a 65-page exact facsimile of the original English text by Alexander Dalrymple of 1770. The Introductory essay is by Dr Edward Duyker. It was nutmeg and pepper that drove the wealthy and powerful Dutch merchant Isaac Le Maire to try to break the VOC monopoly on trade routes to the East Indies, and inspired him to mount an expedition that would forge a new route to the lucrative spice sources via the southern-most tip of America, through uncharted and dangerous waters. Influenced by the famous voyage of Pedro Ferdinandos de Quirós, the Portuguese navigator who believed he had touched upon Terra Australis, the great southland, Le Maire set up The Australian Company (Australische of Zuid Compagnie). The expedition he mounted had a dual goal: to chart a new course to the Pacific and to find the great southern continent. .
