Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. "Beschrijvinghe ende Historische verhael vant Gout koninckrijck van Guinea, anders de Gout-custe de Mina genaemt leggende in het deel van Africa." -Pieter de Marees -Amsterdam: Michiel Colijn, 1617 -Oblong 8vo (landscape format) -Title-page with large engraved allegory of Africa (woman with cornucopia and crocodile for the Nile) -Later vellum binding. -99 (of 104) with 5 pages supplied in facsimile (1E1, 1G1, 1K4, 1L1 and 2C1) -19 (of 20) illustrations with one supplied in facsimile Second edition of Pieter de Marees s famous Description and Historical Account of the Gold Kingdom of Guinea one of the earliest and most detailed first-hand European accounts of West Africa, especially the region of present-day Ghana. Pieter de Marees's Beschrijvinghe ende Historische verhael van het Gout Koninckrijck van Guinea (1602) is the most important European work on West Africa of the seventeenth century. A Dutch merchant sailing from Enkhuizen, little else is known about De Marees apart from this account of his voyage to the Gold Coast around 1597. Written for merchants and policy makers in the newly independent Dutch Republic, it was soon translated into Latin, French, and German, influencing and shaping European views of Africa. Images copied from his illustrations would be used by the cartographer Blaeu, and other illustrators, long into the 17th Century. The work describes the Akan people of modern-day Ghana and the Gold Coast, offering a remarkably detailed view of society. It includes descriptions of political and social structures, trade, religion, and even local hairstyles, memorably illustrated in a famous plate. De Marees's description of the Akan remains a key primary source for historians and anthropologists today. Being a merchant, he focused on the region's valuable commoditiesgold, ivory, and pepperand included a phrasebook to aid future traders. His observations on war captives being held as slaves within African societies predate, and in some ways anticipate, the transatlantic slave trade that would expand later in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The title-page allegory of Africa would have been immediately recognisable to contemporary readers: a crocodile for the Nile, symbol of danger and mystery, and a woman representing the fertility and abundance of the continent. The oblong octavo format was typical of Dutch vernacular travel literature intended for a wide readership, but as such copies were heavily read and worn. Complete copies are now uncommon on the market.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 3rd Edition. "Siebende Schiffahrt. In das goldreiche Königreich Guineam, in Africa gelegen, so sonsten das Goldgestadt von Mina genan[n]t wird, welches von den Portugalesern ungefähr vor 200 Jahren erfunden. Frankfurt a. M.: Hulsius Erben 1624" -Rare 3rd edition -Complete - Title page, Folding Map, Pages 1-232, 19 (of 19) plates -20 x 15 cm -Modern full leather binding -Good condition but significant toning to pages. Hulsius publications were produced for a mass readership and therefore often used cheaper paper. For this reason very few copies survive as they were often not kept. They are much rarer than the more lavishly produced editions by the De Bry family which were cherished due to their value. -All Hulsius parts are rare, and those that survive frequently are lacking plates or maps.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2 parts in one volume. Folio, 30 cm. Elegantly bound in modern full red levant moroccan, raised bands, all edges gilt, gilt rule. Fine binding. Engraved vignette on general title; [8], 127 pp, [1]; [1], 26 leaves of half-page engraved illustrations. Occasional light browning. Marginal dampstaining to final 20 text pages in first part. Minor spotting in second part (plates). First edition, first issue of the sixth volume of de Bry's Little Voyages. This volume covers the first-hand account of Pieter de Marees's first Dutch expedition to Guinea, 1600-01. Pieter de Marees' history of Guinea, originally published in 1602, is one of the earliest detailed European descriptions of West African society and an essential reference for the precolonial period. De Marees wrote primarily about the Gold Coast (Ghana), but his work also covers Cape Verde (Senegal). This work he "discusses the Slave Coast and the Portuguese participation in the traffic". (Postma, The Dutch in the Atlantic Slave Trade, 1600-1815, p. 13). These trade ties would drive European interest in the region leading to the propagation of the Slave Trade. Brunet 1338.
