Il y est retenu prisonnier cinq ans, avant de gagner la côte indienne et les comptoirs portugais. Après un long séjour dans la ville de Goa, il est emmené sur une caraque portugaise pour être jugé comme espion à Lisbonne. Les tempêtes détournent sa route sur São Salvador de Bahia, au Brésil, puis le mènent en Galice d où il rejoint La Rochelle le 5 février 1611. Ce premier récit français sur les Indes est un grand classique de la littérature de voyage. Pourtant, ce livre, qui a connu trois éditions successivement augmentées (1611, 1615, 1619), n avait donné lieu, depuis, qu à une réédition tronquée en 1679. "" ************************ ref 372.

François Pyrard de Laval; c. 1578 - ca. 1623) fue un navegante francés recordado por un relato personal escrito de sus aventuras en las Islas Maldivas de 1602 a 1607, que fue parte de una estancia de diez años (1601-1611) en el sur de Asia. Era natural de Laval y primo del teólogo Pierre Pyrard (1581-1667). El 2 de julio de 1602, Pyrard y un puñado de marineros naufragaron en el atolón sur de Maalhosmadulu en las Maldivas. Fueron tomados cautivos por los maldivos y pasaron cinco años como "huéspedes involuntarios" en las islas, pasando la mayor parte del tiempo en Malé . Los marineros soportaron malaria y tratos crueles esporádicos durante su cautiverio. Sin embargo, Pyrard se esforzó por aprender el idioma local dhivehi y, al hacerlo, pudo lograr una visión de la sociedad maldiva nunca antes experimentada por un europeo. Tomó extensas notas sobre la cultura, las costumbres y la historia de Dhivehi . En febrero de 1607, los franceses escaparon de Malé en barco en medio del caos durante una incursión bengalí . Poco después de su regreso a Laval en 1611, Pyrard publicó un relato de su estancia de 1601-1611. I: 510 páginas. II: De la 511 a la 1021 páginas. Ilustrado con reproducciones de grabados, mapas, pinturas, algunas de ellas a color, dentro de texto. Encuadernación en holandesa media piel y puntas con cartoné pintado al agua, nervios y hierros dorados en el lomo, conservando las cubiertas editorial originales, y estuche de protección de cartoné pintado al agua. Ex libris pegado en las hojas de guarda. Como nuevo. 2 vols. 22,5x16 cm.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 4th. 3 parts in one volume. 4th ed. Collated: [10], 327, [1]; 218; 144, [23] pages; lacking double map. Folding map of China at rear. Handsome quarto, bound in modern 1/2 leather over marbled boards. Fine binding and cover. Internally, scattered spotting / staining throughout, some sheets significantly browned. Minor marginal worming, much of which has been restored. Originally published with title: Discours du voyage des Francois-aux Indes Orientales; Paris, 1611. Francois Pryrard was a French sailor who spent a decade in South Asia between 1601-1611 after being shipwrecked in the Maldives. He was captured by the natives and interned on the island of Male. While there, Pyrard learned the Dhivehi language and the customs of the Maldives (which is signficant, because the region was largely unknown to Europeans previously). He was able to escape in the chaos of a Bengali raid (Chittagong) in 1607 and make his way to Portuguese Goa. He made his return to Laval, France through Saint Helena and Brazil. This book contains the story of his journey and publishes his extensive notes on the peoples he encountered. Part one focuses on the Maldives. Part two covers Goa, Portuguese India, Ceylan, the Spice Islands, St. Helena, and Brazil. Pyrard Part three contains information about the African coast, tropical and exotic fruits, Asian animals, and remarks on geography. Pyrard's work is notable for being one the earliest accounts of Brazilian city life. On his return to France he was shipwrecked at Bahia, Brazil. There is an interesting description of Portuguese - African slave trafficking in part 2, 138 p.

Edition : This is the 1679 edition, the second overall. , Contemporary full vellum. Flat spine with gilt text on a calf label. All edges speckled red., ?Pyrard?s travels covered the years between 1601 and 1611, and have crowded into them a welter of shipwrecks, imprisonments, and other adventures such as seldom falls to a man without leaving him permanently scarred. He sailed out on the Corbin, one of the two ships fitted out by some French merchants in a belated endeavour to open up trade relations with the East. The ship was wrecked on one of the Maldive Islands and the crew imprisoned. Pyrard, who quickly learned the language of the natives, was taken into favour by the king, who kept the Frenchman by him until five years later when the place was raided by a hostile group from Chittagong, India, and Pyrard, with his three companions, were carried off to the latter place. He then travelled to the Malabar Coast, where he was for a time a prisoner to the Portuguese, who sent him on some expeditions to the Moluccas. Along with other foreign residents he was shipped to Europe on some Portuguese vessels and was wrecked again, this time on the coast of Brazil[, in Bahia]. But Europe saw him safe at home at last. His first-hand experiences and acquaintance with various parts of the mainland of India and the islands of the Archipelago make his record a valuable repository of geographical and historical knowledge of the East. Especially has it been commended for his account of the Maldive Islands, which almost up to the present day have been a Terra Incognita.? (Cox) In addition to being an invaluable source of information with regards to the Maldives, it also is the earliest (surviving) account of a Brazilian city (Bahia in 1610; Hill). There is great uncertainty as to the true author of the work. Although it is certain that Pyrard did indeed carry out the travels depicted, both Sabin and Brunet point out the division among scholars with regards to the authorship of this famous account: Huet claims that its author is Pierre Bergeron, who based it off of Pyrard?s written accounts; the Abbot Pérau, however, attributes it to Jérôme Bignon. Regardless, this Paris 1679 edition is universally acclaimed as an improvement to the earlier Paris 1619 edition for the invaluable contributions of DuVal., Size : 4to, With the engraved map of Asia by Du Val, 7 headpieces, 4 tailpieces, and 5 initials., Volume : Three parts in one., References : Brunet III:880-881; Sabin 66882; Graesse 5:515; Cox 1:290; Hill 1405 (later edition)., P. 2 ff., title, blank, map, blank, au lecteur (2), contents (4), 1-192, 197-327, 1-218, 1-144, (17), 2 ff. The title, the first three leaves, and the final leaves have been skilfully reinforced. Part 1, pages 75 to 87 have mild browning in the centre of the leaves; there is also some period marginalia in part 2 on page 161. Mispaginations include a misleading jump from 192 to 197 in part 1 which does not affect the text, as verified in Sabin; another noticeable incidence is in part 2, where p. 115 is paginated as 11, again with no alteration to the text. This book lacks the first leaf of the table of contents, as well as the first 3 leaves of the index. Otherwise, generally in very good condition, text is clean.
