ANTONIO PIGAFETTA (1491-c.1534)
Premier Voyage autour du Monde sur l'escadre de Magellan, pendant le Années 1519, 20, 21 et 22; Suivi de l'extrait du Traité de Navigation du même auteur; et D'une Notice sur le chevalier Martin Behaim, avec la description de son Globe Terrestre. Paris: H.J. Jansen, 1801. 8° (202 x 119mm). 3 engraved folding maps, 7 engraved plates, 4 of these hand-coloured, one engraved illustration. (Half-title with light soiling). Contemporary dark brown sprinkled calf gilt, black morocco label (small area of superficial loss, edges bumped).
First edition in French of the chief account of Magellan's expedition, translated by Father Carlo Amoretti and published shortly after his discovery of an Italian edition of the manuscript in the Ambrosiana Library in Milan. Until Amoretti's find of this manuscript, Pigafetta's journal of the first voyage of circumnavigation had only been published in a much abridged edition based on the Louisa of Savoy manuscript. Pigafetta was present at Magellan's death in the Philippines and was one of only 18 men to survive the expedition and return to Spain. His early maps of the Magellan Straits form an important early contribution to cartography and he was also one of the first to attempt a dictionary of native words in the South Seas. The illustrations include a folding map of the Philippines, 4 hand-coloured plates, one of these of Cebu and Mactan islands, another of some of the Moluccas Islands, and a folding map of the world. Borba de Moraes II, p.146; Brunet IV, 650; Graesse V, p.289; Sabin 62805.
