First edition. First edition. Later half-cloth, boards covered with marbled paper, spine with title vignette. [6] 86 [4] p., and an engraved folding map, and 9 engraved folding plates. Scarce Dutch illustrated edition of the first eyewitness account of Hernando de Soto's expedition, complete with a folding map of Florida and nine double-page engraved plates. Dutch abridged edition of the earliest published eyewitness narrative of Hernando de Soto's expedition to Florida and the interior of North America. The text derives from the Relaçam verdadeira dos trabalhos (Évora, 1557), written by an anonymous Portuguese gentleman from Elvas who participated in the expedition. That work is the first printed account of de Soto's journey and remains a foundational source for the early Spanish exploration of the southeastern regions of what is now the United States. De Soto landed in Florida in May 1539 and led a large expedition through present-day Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana, reaching the Mississippi River before his death in 1542. The narrative records sustained contact with Indigenous societies and documents the challenges of an extended inland expedition through the southeastern regions of North America. This Leiden edition was issued by Pieter van der Aa as part of his Naaukeurige versameling der gedenkwaardigste zee- en landreysen, presenting the narrative in Dutch translation in an abridged form. It is illustrated with an emblematic engraved title, a folding engraved map of Florida attributed to de Soto's discoveries, and nine double-page engraved plates depicting episodes from the Spanish conquest. Van der Aa's engravings played a significant role in shaping early eighteenth-century European visual conceptions of Spanish America and its exploration. A well-preserved copy, complete with the folding map and plates. An important Dutch contribution to European-Americana, transmitting one of the principal sixteenth-century sources for the exploration of the North American interior. Not in Sabin. Scarce on the market; RBH records only four copies offered in the past 100 years. . Small wormhole affecting the first five leaves and the folding map; otherwise in very good condition.

Pages ruled in pencil. In contemporary half morocco. Title lettered in gilt on spine. ff. [189]. An eighteenth-century manuscript copy of the scarce, Portuguese eye-witness' account on the discovery of Florida, Relaçam verdadeira, a narrative of Hernando de Soto's expedition, which was first published in Évora in 1557 by Andrés de Burgos. Relaçam verdadeira is the first account to be published about de Soto's expedition and the discovery of Florida. The book was written by an anonymous gentleman from Elvas, who was one of the Portuguesefidalgosaccompanying the Spanish expedition crossing the southern territories of North America from Florida to the mouth of the Mississippi. De Soto, the seasonedconquistadorwho had participated in the conquest of Peru, and his men landed in Florida in May 1539 and wandered through what is now the southeastern United States, Florida, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana. After nearly four years of unsuccessful search for gold, and the death of de Soto in 1542, the three hundred survivors of the initial force of seven hundred reached the Mississippi River and returned to Mexico. Relaçam verdadeira is among the few key narratives of early Spanish efforts to explore North America and is considered as one of the major documents of sixteenth-century American history. It provides the earliest accounts of the Southern Indians and gives the first insight into their customs and religious practices. The printed book is extremely scarce, IB (just as USTC) lists only 3 copies in New York (NYPL), London (BL), and Madrid (BNE). Besides those, we located two copies at Biblioteca Geral da Universidade de Coimbra and JCB. The French introduction of the present volume mentions a copy, probably of which the manuscript was made after, in Lisbon at Real Palacio das Necessidades, however, we could not verify the existence or the current location of it.
