‎Le Japon était le plus difficile d'accés des pays de la Terre. Peu d'Européens, aprés François-Xavier, y avaient été admis; mais les ambassades hollandaises dont il s'agit ici ont accédé à de nombreuses informations qui étaient encore inconnues de tous à cette époque. MEURS, Jacob de : traducteur. Cet abondant ouvrage est une compilation faite à partir des carnets des ambassadeurs qui eurent l'honneur d'être admis dans l'Empire japonais. Boucher de la Richarderie voit dans cet ouvrage un mélange d'écrits issus des jésuites et d'illustrateurs fantaisistes. Cependant, la richesse de cet ouvrage est sa polyvalence d'intérêt : les Japonais y sont décrits de manière détaillée quant à leur culture, leur religions, leurs moeurs. Les villes du pays sont décrites et l'histoire récente de cet Empire est évoquée.........Édition originale en francais, dédiée à Louis XIV de ce livre remarquable sur le Japon du XVIIème siècle. Le texte a été compilé par Arnoldus Montanus d'aprés les journaux de bord et récits des Ambassadeurs. Référence(s) : CG, CXVII, 1080. - Brunet Anonymes......Cordier. Bibl. Japonica, p. 385; Alt-Japan-Katalog 1053; Landwehr, 'VOC', 525.......Ce travail est une riche compilation de descriptions de émissaires de la Compagnie des Indes orientales néerlandaises et leurs rencontres avec les autochtones et les Portugais, consacrées strictement au Japon, sa terre et ses habitants. Les grandes gravures montrent des vues spectaculaires sur les villes d'Edo (Tokyo), Osaka, Kyoto et le règlement commercial néerlandais Deshima. Cette uvre monumentale très détaillée et illustrée sur le Japon a été compilé par le ministre néerlandais Arnold Montanus. Il a basé son travail sur les revues de l'ambassade Compagnie hollandaise des Indes de 1649 qui avait fait semblant d'être "une ambassade officielle du gouvernement néerlandais plutôt que de la VOC" ......Le livre décrit a.o. deux missions de COV. Andr. Frisius à l'empereur du Japon en 1649 et 1661 Arnoldus Montanus (1625-1683) était un missionnaire et éditeur du présent livre néerlandais. Le travail décrit «l'histoire du Japon ... de la hausse de Oda Nobunaga pour les premières années de l'Tokugawa Bakufu comme on le voit à travers les yeux des visiteurs européens dans le pays, et de fournir un aperçu des murs et les coutumes des différentes régions .. . Matériel proviennent de sources allant des registres de la Compagnie hollandaise des Indes à la rédaction de missionnaires espagnols et portugais »(Nipponalia, VIII).

‎Nouvelle édition de cette description du Japon, la première édition date de 1669, suivie sous un titre particulier d'une Relation des guerres civiles du Japon. Elle est illustrée de six planches dépliantes gravées en taille-douce. Montanus (1625-1683), qui était recteur à Schoonhoven, avait développé une passion pour les relations de voyages dans les pays lointains. Il en écrivit à son tour, sans quitter l'Europe, en mettant à profit les récits de marins et de navigateurs de la Compagnie des Indes orientales. M3-Et3 ‎

Bound in contemporary full mottled calf, raised spine with gilt decoration and title in gold on spine. With floral roll decoration on the board edges. Sprinkled edges. Binding in a very good state of preservation. Lower margin of the first two pages with some soiling , some marginal tears in a few text pages repaired with old transparent paper applied on one side. A few of the double-page plates equally repaired in the lower end of the fold, some sparse stains at a few pages. Overall a fine copy in a very well preserved contemporary binding. On the title page is a small written name ( ex-libris ?) ''D. Loos''. In the upper margin of the first paste down is written '' Marselary. du don de mon Père le premier jour de l'an 1682''. Underneath this line is a very small 19th c. label ( 2 x 1 cm) with the manuscript inscription '' bibliothèque de lue '' (?). This is the first edition in French of Montanus' work on Japan. The very first edition in Dutch was published in 1669. It was to become the most informative and best illustrated work on Japan, its history, topography;culture and politics for a long period. This French edition contains 4 reworked large plates and also, for the first time, a view of Fort Zeelandia in Taiwan. The book contains firsthand information collected by Jesuit missions to Japan in 1649 and 1661 ; VOC embassies by Bloovius Frisium, Zacharias Wagenaer (1657) ; Hendrik Indyk (1661 )..

‎Biblia sacra quid in hac editione a theologis Lovaniensibus praestatum sit, praefatio indicat. (incomplete copy)‎

‎ Antverpiae ( Antwerpen ), Ex Officina Christophori Plantini, 1583, format in-folio, 425 x 285 mm, Incomplete copy, (only the first half of the Old Testament is present). Collation: *2,**6 , A-Z8 , Aa-Kk8, and Ll (this last leaf in finely written manuscript). This copy contains the first 426 pp (of a total of 1202 pp). It icludes all the preliminary leaves together with the first half of the Old Testament (until the book JOB). Our copy contains also 12 of the 13 full page/double page engraved plates which illustrate the complete bible, including the engraved title page (missing is the groundfloor of the temple in Jeruzalem ). Binding : Contemporary leather over oak boards, with clasps (clasps entirely missing), one oak corner broken away (repairable). Leather with large portions of blind panel stamps remaining. Binding very worn, parts of leather missing, with traces of old restorations. A curious element of the binding is a manuscript title written on a vellum slip (format 25 x 110 mm) attached on the upper part of the front cover by means of 12 small copper nails (only 2 nails remaining). The two paste downs are large vellum manuscript leaves taken from a 14th-15th c. bible (400 x 270 mm) (neatly written with blue and red initials, written in three (!) columns glosses on the left, main text in a large letter with interlinear text in the smallest letter. (from a Carthusian bible ?). Allthough only 1 part (of three) is present here the most important maps and illustrations are to be found in this copy. It contains the famous world map by Arias Montanus (dated 1571) taken , as all other full page illustrations from the Biblia Polyglotta (1568-73). The map has the word ''Gentes'' added to ''Jecktan'' in the lower left box which indicates that this is the second state (from 1572). Bibliog. Shirley(World) 125, 2nd state. This map is reputed to be the first to show something of Australia (a spurious landmass, probably no more than the engraver's licence) (see Schilder, Australia //20) . All full page ill. in good condion, without trimming. (only the map of Israel show a small hole (size 2 x 12 mm). We thought it a pity to remove this valuable map from the book because as we shall explain below the book offers some interesting features making it worthwhile to preserve it as it is Provenance: The bible was owned and used by the Carthusian monks of Liège. This follows from a (18th-19th c.) note on the fly leaf ''Cette Ste. Bible etoit pour les leçons des matines a la Chartreuse de Liège''. When acquiring this bible we could partially reconstruct its owner history. Last owner was the bible-and missal printer-publisher Dessain of Mechelen (Brabant) Dessain was from Liège and he bought in 1855 the printing business of P.J. Hanicq in Mechelen. The copy is very carefully rubricated with large capitals in red and black in the margin, in a contemporary hand. It also contains many words which have been suppressed by means of small tipped on strips of paper . E.g. Pp a4 recto : two words replaced, written on correction paper strip. Ppa5 recto: marginal note cancelled in ink. ........and so on. We presume that the first users (Carthusians of Liège) did the rubrication (corroborated by a note in the margin of pp. a² ''In refectorio'', same hand as other rubrication letters. Did a later hand (an ''editor'' ?) made text corrections ( in view of new edition ?). This might have been a predecessor of P.J. Hanicq. ( Jean-François Broncart of Liège made a bi-lingual in-folio edition in 1702 ??) Printed on strong paper, interior generally in good condition, some pages with thumbing in lower margin, some marginal paper restorations, two engravings blackened by a prudish censor. Overall good interior condition. Intriging copy of one of the finest products of the Plantin press, albeit incomplete still valuable with its important world map.‎

Binding a bit soiled but technically very sound, interior with the usual few minor stains , a small waterstain at the last (index) leaves, on the whole a very good copy with the plates in excellent condition. This a well preserved copy of this rare and important book in its original Dutch vellum binding. First edition of this finely illustrated book covering all of the Americas. It was the best illustrated work of the American continent at the time of publication and it was almost immediately translated in English (by John Ogilby) and German. The plates in the text are the same as those in the translations, but are by definition earlier and therefore better printings. It contains e.g. a map of the New-York area where Brooklyn is still called Breukelen, a map of Virginia, Carolina. The folding map at the beginning still depicts California as an island. The book contains also an important section on Brazil. Church 613, Sabin 50086, Streeter HBS 52892.."‎
