Three parts in one, 4o (231 x 170 mm). Engraved folding map. (Some occasional pale marginal dampstaining.) Contemporary French calf, spine gilt (skilfully rebacked preserving original spine). Provenance: de Warenghien de Flory (bookplate).
Later edition, the FIRST EDITION edited by Pierre Duval, "regarded as the most complete edition" (Howgego). In 1679 Pierre Duval, Geographer to the King, issued this new edition, "revue, corrigée et augmentée de divers traités et relations curieuses." The vocabulary of the first edition of 1611 was suppressed and Bergeron's text was enlarged and corrected. The map of the route of the voyage was drawn by Duval himself. Pyrard de Laval, a French merchant seaman, sailed to India in 1601. After his ship was wrecked in the Maldive Islands, he was captured by natives and fell in the good graces of the King of Malé, and remained in his realm for five years. He also travelled through Hindustan to Cochin. Alden & Landis 679/105; Borba de Moraes II:694; Howgego P168; Sabin 66882.
