"Tasman sailed in command of an exploratory voyage 'for the discovery of the unknown Southland.,' commissioned by the government of the Dutch East India Company at Batavia. The expedition stopped for supplies at the island of Mauritius, and then sailed in a southeasterly direction until they sighted land - present-day Tasmania, which Tasman christened Anthonij van Diemens Landt, in honor of the governor-general of the Dutch East India Company. They dropped anchor on the east coast of Tasmania and made several charts and coastal surveys of the land. They then set sail for the Salamonis (Solomon) Islands, but came straight upon the west coast of New Zealand, calling it Staten Landt, and believing it to be the mainland coast of the 'unknown Southland.' As they sailed north up the coast, several surveys of the coast and a number of drawings were made; some of the drawings concerned the natives of the land and their unfriendly treatment of the Dutchmen. They sailed further to the northeast, and visited Tongatabu, which they called Amsterdam 'because of the abundance of refreshments we got there.' The natives were very friendly, and Tasman stayed three days there, bartering for many needed supplies, and making drawings of the island and the natives. The expedition sailed through the Fiji group and charted the islands of Ontong Java (Lord Howe Island), north of the Solomon Islands. On the last leg of their journey, they sailed along and made surveys of the north coast of New Guinea. The present work is a reproduction of the edition published at Amsterdam by F. Muller in 1898." Folio, with numerous textual illustrations, and five folding maps and charts housed in the rear pocket. Full green cloth binding, with gilt-stamped titles. The dust jacket is unevenly toned, with some minor dust staining; otherwise very good. Hill 1670.

Condizione: Sehr gut. 1. 240 S. Gebrauchtes Exemplar in sehr gutem Zustand. KEINE Eintragungen/Markierungen. Abel Janszoon Tasman gehört bis heute zu den unentdeckten Entdeckern": Um ein Haar hätte der Niederländer das australische Festland entdeckt, doch eine ungewöhnliche Kurswahl ließ ihn knapp daran vorbeisegeln. Vielleicht ist dies der Grund, warum sein Name nur selten zusammen mit der ersten Garde der großen Entdecker, wie Kolumbus, Magellan oder Cook, genannt wird. Zu Unrecht, denn sein Beitrag zur neueren Entdeckungsgeschichte war enorm: Er gab dem heutigen Tasmanien seinen Namen, entdeckte die Tonga- und Fidschi-Inseln, nahm mit den Maori Kontakt auf und erreichte am 13. Dezember 1642 als erster Europäer die Küste Neuseelands.Abel J. Tasman (1603 1659): Über Kindheit und Jugend des ambitionierten Niederländers liegen kaum gesicherte Informationen vor. Im Jahr 1633 heuerte der junge Mann bei der niederländischen Ostindien-Kompanie an. Dort machte er sich zunächst durch die Erfüllung mehrerer gefährlicher Missionen verdient und erhielt 1642 schließlich den Auftrag zur Erforschung der legendären Terra Australis", die seinen Namen in die Entdeckungsgeschichte eingehen ließ. Der Herausgeber: Egon Larsen (1904 1990) arbeitete als Journalist bei der Süddeutschen Zeitung und beim Bayerischen Rundfunk. Er war Verfasser zahlreicher Sachbücher u.a. zur Technikgeschichte, die in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt wurden. In der Edition Erd-mann hat er die Entdeckung von Nordamerika durch John und Sebastian Cabot herausgegeben. - Wir versenden aus unserem deutschen Lager heraus in plastikfreien oder wiederverwendeten Polstertaschen.

Near fine condition Chart reproduced from a copy in the Rare Map Collection, National Library of Autralia. Documenting Tasman's 1642-43 voyage in which Tasmania and New Zealand were discovered, and the 1644 voyage during which much of the northern coastline of Australia was documented. Shows Tasman's route from Mauritius to Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand to Java. 'Nova Hollandia' is included although the eastern and south eastern coasts are yet to be explored. Many rivers on eastern cape York and Gulf of Carpentaria have been named. Text in Dutch. The original was first issued in Francois Valentyn's eight volume work 'Oud En Nieuw Oost Indien,' published 1724-1726. Valentyn (1666-1727) was a Reformist Minister and served with the Dutch East India Company. He made numerous voyages to the East Indies and his important work on the region provided insight into local culture. During compilation of his work Valentyn was given access to many of the companies archives, including the charts of Tasman.

Thevenot's Voyages First edition, first part only, Folio (360 by 230mm). (4)ff, XXVpp., 52pp., 50pp. (poorly numbered, but complete), 12pp., 80pp., 30pp., 19p. (poorly numbered, but complete), 35pp., 56pp (poorly numbered, but complete), 9pp., (2)pp., numerous pages misnumbered, but complete, four engraved plates (two double-page), four illustrations in the text, and four engraved maps,; contemporary mottled calf, rebacked, spine in 7 compartments with red morocco lettering piece, gilt, in the second. A rare first edition, of the first part of the first volume, with the map of Australia in the first state: one of the earliest printed maps of the country. The first three volumes were published between 1663 and 1666. A fourth part was published in 1672, and a fifth part unfinished in 1696. "It is difficult to find complete copies" Brunet (V, 810-813), because each volume is composed of separate parts. Brunet adds that "no two examples have the same parts in the same order". The text is based on the original manuscripts collected by Melchisedec Thevenot, Orientalist and librarian to the King, and offers much good information on the Dutch East India Company (V.O.C.), Eastern alphabets, one of the first representations of cuneiform characters, etc. The mapmakers Abel Jansz. Tasman (c1603-1659), was the first European explorer to reach and map the coastlines of Tasmania and New Zealand. After a series of shipwrecks had revealed some of the western coast of Australia, he was chosen by Anthony van Diemen, governor-general of the Dutch East Indies, to lead a voyage of discovery to the south, in 1642. The intention was to find a sea route south of Nuyts land, and east across the Pacific to South America. In his ships, the 'Heemskerck' and 'Zeehaen', over a course of ten months, Tasman mapped the coast of southwest Tasmania, the west coast of New Zealand, and the island groups of Tonga and New Guinea. A second voyage, in 1644, Tasman and crew surveyed the southwest coast of New Guinea, and much of Australia's northern coastline, as here. Although the longed for southern sea route was not found, the easterly's were too strong, Tasman was awarded the rank of commandeur on his return, and a pay rise was backdated to the beginning of his first voyage. Subsequently, Tasman was "appointed to the Council of Justice at Batavia. In mid-1647 he was sent on a mission to the King of Siam and was granted precedence over all Dutchmen in the kingdom. After that mission, he was given command of a fleet of eight vessels which sailed in May 1648 against the Spaniards. His conduct in this operation was unsatisfactory and, after his return in January 1649, proceedings were taken against him for having, when inflamed by liquor, treated one of his sailors in a barbarous way; as a result, he was removed from office during the governor-general's pleasure. He was formally reinstated in January 1651, but not long afterwards retired from the service and became a merchant in Batavia. He died there in affluent circumstances in 1659" (Forsyth). Melchisedech Thevenot (1620-1692) was a French diplomat, scientist, and travel writer. He was a scholar with interests in mathematics, physics, and medicine, acting as the patron of several early scientific societies and most notably contributing to the formation of the Academie des Sciences. His early career included two missions to Italy in the 1640s and 1650s, and it was there that he first developed an interest in the study of Oriental languages. In 1663, he published the first part of his 'Relations de Divers Voyages', a work that would secure his reputation as one of the most important travel compilers of the seventeenth century. He would go on to publish a second and third part in 1666, a fourth in 1672, and a final fifth part was being assembled in 1692 when Thevenot died.

The first map dedicated to Australia in English Double-page engraved map, with fine hand-colour in full. Abel Tasman's celebrated map of "Hollandia Nova Terra Australis", published in the second edition of John Harris's 'Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels', first published without Bowen's maps in 1705. The first map dedicated to Australia in English, having first been published in Melchisedec Thevenot's 'Relations de Divers Voyages Curieux qui n'ont point esté publiées, ou qui ont esté traduites d'Hacluyt, de Purchas et d'autres voyages Anglais, Hollandais, Portugais, Allemands, Espagnols, et de quelques Persans, Arabes et auteurs orientaux' (1663). Based on Joan Blaeu's wall map of Asia and Australia, 'Archipelagus Orientalis, sive Asiaticus' (1659), Australia's "birth certificate", and the progenitor of the shape of the nation for 100 years.

Eventually, geographer to George II, from about 1747, also possibly (according to Chubb), geographer to Louis XV of France, Emanuel Bowen (c1693-1767) was originally apprenticed to Charles Price in 1709. Price, a renowned globe and instrument maker, member of the Merchant Taylors Company, had in turn had been apprenticed to John Seller senior. Amongst Bowen's first work were maps for George Willdey's 'Atlas of the World' (1717). There followed a period during which he engraved charts for some of the leading hydrographers of his day: Joseph Avery, Samuel Fearon and John Eyes, Nicholas Dobrée, and Murdoch Mackenzie. He also produced a prodigious number of maps for British periodicals. Significant maps that he subsequently published under his own name, include: 'A new and accurate map of South Wales delineated from an actual survey and admeasurement by Eman. Bowen', (1729), a large six-sheet map, sold by subscription, mostly to local wealthy landowners. In the early 1730s, Bowen took on two apprentices, Thomas Kitchin and Thomas Jefferys, both of whom would become pre-eminent map makers in their own right. There followed some large-scale maps of Norfolk and Huntingdonshire, 'A new and accurate map of England and Wales' (1734), maps for John Harris's 'Navigantium atque itinerantium bibliotheca' (17448), as well as numerous atlases, including Bowen's 'Complete System of Geography' (17447), and 'Complete Atlas' (1752).

Australia revealed Third state. Double-page engraved map. One of the first printed records of Abel Tasman's discoveries of the Australian coastline, published in the first edition of Melchisedec Thevenot's 'Relations de Divers Voyages Curieux qui n'ont point esté publiées, ou qui ont esté traduites d'Hacluyt, de Purchas et d'autres voyages Anglais, Hollandais, Portugais, Allemands, Espagnols, et de quelques Persans, Arabes et auteurs orientaux' (1663). Based on Joan Blaeu's wall map of Asia and Australia, 'Archipelagus Orientalis, sive Asiaticus' (1659), Australia's "birth certificate", and the progenitor of the shape of the nation for 100 years. The 'Relations', was a monumental collection of voyages and exploration, a continuation of the compilations of Haklyut and Purchas, with the addition of accounts of exploration in the southern oceans, the East Indies, China and Arabia, and intended to help France achieve her colonial and international trade ambitions. Issued in five parts over more than thirty years, between 1663 and 1696. Part I included an account of one of the truly legendary voyages undertaken in perilously small open boats, Pelsaert's voyage from the Abrolhos to Batavia in June and July of 1629, an extraordinary feat of endurance in extremis, and illustrated with the large folding map 'Terre Avstrale decouverte l'an 1644', as here. 'Hollandia Nova, detecta 1644' - New Holland, revealed 1644 shows the western side of the continent, and a vast expanse between New Guinea, New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, is designated 'Terre Australe, decouverte l'an 1644' - Terra Australia, discovered 1644. Thevenot, expanding on Blaeu, divides the continent in two at longitude 135 E. The line "separating 'Hollandia Nova' and 'Terre Australe' correlated to the western limit of Spanish claims in the South Pacific arising from the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494. Thevenot was essentially reusing the Spanish boundary to open up the land east of New Holland to French interests. In effect, he was signaling what many in the French administration were then advocating: that France should emulate the Dutch in ensuring that the fledgling French East India Company had access to foreign markets. when the British government drew up the boundaries of the colony of New South Wales in 1788, it set the western limit at the meridian of 135 degrees east of Greenwich, just as it appeared on Thevenot's map" (Woods). This is a fine example of the third state with an unusually wide left-hand margin, in which rhumb lines have been added for the first time, and the error in degrees of latitude has been corrected. The mapmakers Abel Jansz. Tasman (c1603-1659), was the first European explorer to reach and map the coastlines of Tasmania and New Zealand. After a series of shipwrecks had revealed some of the western coast of Australia, he was chosen by Anthony van Diemen, governor-general of the Dutch East Indies, to lead a voyage of discovery to the south, in 1642.

Single sheet (15 4/8 x 19 6/8 inches). A fine engraved map of "Hollandia Nova" - "Terra Australis" by Emanuel Bowen after Abel Tasman, showing most of the western and southern coastline of Australia, with the title within a fine asymmetrical rococo cartouche lower left, two panels of explanatory text to the left (a few discreet repaired tears, paper replacements to margins, center fold strengthened). THE FIRST MAP DEDICATED TO AUSTRALIA IN ENGLISH A bright and attractive copy of Tasman's "New Holland" "A Complete Map of the Southern Continent Surveyed by Capt. Abel Tasman & Depicted by Order of the East India Company in Holland in the Stadt House at Amsterdam", and as such is the first separate depiction of Australia in English. From the second edition of John Harris's "Navigantium atque Itinerantium Bibliotheca. Or, a Complete Collection of Voyages and Travels", first published without Bowen's maps in 1705. Abel Janszoon Tasman (1603?-1659), mariner, was born at Lutjegast, near Groningen, in the Netherlands. In 1642 he was "appointed to command two ships to explore southern and eastern waters. Sailing in August he discovered Van Diemen's Land, New Zealand, the Tonga Islands and some of the Fiji group, and re-explored part of the north coast of New Guinea. On his return to Batavia in June 1643 he was chosen to take part in an expedition to form a settlement in the Tonga Islands from which the Chilean coast was to be raided; while this expedition was preparing, he was ordered to find whether there was a passage into the South Sea between Carpentaria and De Witt's Land. For this purpose he set out with three vessels at the end of January 1644 and, following the coasts from Cape Valsche round to Cape Cloates, satisfied himself that, except perhaps at Endeavour Strait, there was no passage. He was rewarded after his return in August 1644 by confirmation in the grade of commandeur, with a substantial increase in pay dated back to the beginning of his voyage in 1642" (J. W. Forsyth for the Australian Dictionary of Biography). Tasman's map of New Holland was first published in Melchisedech Thevenot's "Relations de divers voyages curieux" in 1663 and then revised until 1696. "Thevenot ensured that his book included maps at every juncture. Of the many maps, plans and drawings in the work, the map of New Holland/Terra Australia is perhaps the most politically charged. The map shows 'Hollandia Nova, detecta 1644' (New Holland, revealed 1644), consigned to the western side of the continent. A vast undescribed expanse between New Guinea, New Zealand and Van Dieman's Land, is give the French appellation 'Terre Australe, decouverte l'an 1644' (Terra Australia, discovered 1644). Thevenot divided the continent in two at longitude 135 E. The line separating 'Hollandia Nova' and "Terre Australe' correlated to the western limit of Spanish claims in the South Pacific arising from the Treaty of Tordesillas of 1494. Thevenot was essentially reusing the Spanish boundary to open up the land east of New Holland to French interests. In effect, he was signalling what many in the French administration were then advocating : that France should emulate the Dutch in ensuring that the fledgling French East India Company had access to foreign markets. when the British government drew up the boundaries of the colony of New South Wales in 1788, it set the western limit at the meridian of 135 degrees east of Greenwich, just as it appeared o Thevenot's " (Martin Woods for "Mapping our World: Terra Incognita to Australia", National Library of Australia, page 143).
