Aware of the conflicting information promulgated by many Europeans, Kolb recorded his voyages in part 'to oblige the learned and curious part of the world with a useful and entertaining history of a country and people, of whom we have had hitherto such various and uncertain accounts'" (Howgego). Kolbe (1675-1726) lived at the Cape from 1705 till 1713, and based his account on first hand experience.FIRST EDITION. Kolbe lived and worked at the Cape from 1705 till 1713, and decribes in his Caput bonae spei hodiernum South Africa, and the Cape of Good Hope including its geography, climate, flora and fauna, followed by an interesting and accurate account of the Hottentots based on the author's first hand experience, recording their language, religion, education and customs.

2 volumes bound as 1. Best (and first Dutch) edition of the most important account of the Cape of Good Hope and one of the most important works of all time on South Africa, with twice as many copperplates as the first German edition. Much of the material is based on Kolbe's own observations in the years 1705 to 1713, but he also compares them with the observations and theories of earlier writers. The zoological plates show numerous mammals, birds, fish and other marine animals and reptiles, and other plates cover topography, agriculture, hunting, buildings, etc. In addition to these subjects, the text provides detailed information on the customs and habits of the Khoikhoi (in the present work they are still called "Hottentots", a term that is now considered offensive), a well-documented account of the VOC government of the Cape, the earliest list of South African animals and much information about plants. It remains an essential primary source for any study of South Africa. Some minor thumbing and foxing in the margins of the textleaves, some of the folds of the plates reinforced and a few occasional minor stains. Binding rubbed along the extremities, hinge slightly cracked at the head. Overall in very good condition.l Landwehr & V.d.

Port., 5 maps and 24 platesii pp. [4], 449, [87]. Map and 23 plates.Peter Kolb was a German astronomer and mathematician who lived at the Cape from 1705 to 1713. He was initially sponsored by a German baron to make astronomical observations in pursuit of a way to calculate longitude accurately. When this project ended, Kolb stayed at the Cape and observed everything else. About three years after his return to Germany, he began to compile a book about his experiences, based on letters and notes he had written. This book (more than 850 large pages) was divided into three sections: the first discussed the flora, fauna, minerals, water, and topography of the Cape. The second addressed the social life and customs of the Khoikhoi (then known as Hottentots). The third discussed the political intrigues of the Dutch colony during the years Kolb was part of it. His ethnographic conclusions are now contested, but there is no doubt that his book is an important source for understanding interaction among the various ethnic groups at the Cape in this early period. Although Kolb was not married and had no children, he made numerous comments about many different aspects of women's lives. In the excerpt below, he discusses the rearing of children, but also offers a glimpse into how closely Europeans, Khoikhoi, and slaves lived and worked together.Provenance: Percival Ross Frames, armorial bookplate: Flying Officer 74348 Percival "Percy" Ross Frames Burton, 249 Squadron, was born 1917 in the Cape Province, South Africa.
