Hardcover (Full Leather). Condition: Very Good Condition. First Edition. Early (ca. late 17th or early 18th c.) speckled calf, wear to spine ends with joints starting, but binding quite sound. Slight bowing to boards, paste paper endpapers with a touch of (paste related) worning to gutter), title page neatly trimmed and remounte…d, early signature to front blank, minor foxing, browning, scattered small stains, throughout, but generally clean and a very good copy overall. Early marginalia in a few spots. Title, (4), 1-101pp, (table). 18 plates. The very rarely seen first state of the first edition with no owl plate and without the extra preliminaries. Plautius, a Benedictine abbot from Austria, wrote this history of the Benedictine missions to the New World led by Bernardo Buil on Columbus' second voyage. Plautius took extreme umbrage at Debry's Protestant depiction of the early voyages and sought to replace his inaccuracies with some of his own. The first issue is considerably rarer in commerce (just a couple copies have appeared at auction over the last 50+ years) and it appears that only a small percentage of institutional copies are the first issue. The illustrations include depictions of cannibalism, indigenous produce, and the famous engraving of mass being given on the back of a giant fish near St. Brendan's island, a story that Plautius deemed credible. Palau VI 107; Sabin 63367 Size: Folio. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: 1-2 kilos. Category: Travel & Places; Americana. Inventory No: 049714.

Hardcover. Condition: VG. Account of Early Spanish Colonization in the New World Fantastic Engraved Plates of America and Native Americans "One of the impudentest books known" (Stevens) First edition, second issue (with the additional owl pl. Folio. Modern quarter vellum. [10], 101, [3] pages. Engraved allegorical title pag…e (including portraits of "S. Brandanus" and "Buell. Catalonus" and an oval map vignette) and 19 plates (including the owl plate) and 1 full-page woodcut diagram. Occasional small marginal tears on some of the plates. Early sympathetic paper repairs to some leaves. Tiny losses to two of the plates (lower left of the "Arlmirante de navios" plate, with loss of the letter "A"; and small loss to lower left corner of plate no. 3). Otherwise generally quite nice. Account of Early Spanish Colonization in the New World Fantastic Engraved Plates of America and Native Americans "One of the impudentest books known" (Stevens) First edition, second issue (with the additional owl plate), of this unusual early illustrated account attributed to the Benedictine abbot Caspar Plautius (Kaspar Plautz) of Seitenstetten Abbey in Austria. The author issued the book under a pseudonym and then dedicated it to himself. This issue with the additional "Ad lectorum" leaf and owl plate in preliminaries, and additional leaves at end ("In primis" and errata). According to Sabin some copies have an extra plate of Columbus at the end, dated 1622, which is rarely seen and is not present here. This famous and curious account of the discovery of America by Columbus focuses on the earliest missionary activity of the Benedictines under Father Buil. The work is renowned for its series of fantastic, engraved plates, including an iconic depiction of a Spanish admiral (clearly intending to represent Columbus) with an inset circular map of the Atlantic and the West Indies, by Wolfgang Kilian (1581-1662). Other plates show a mass being celebrated by St. Brandan on the back of a large whale-like fish; Indians practicing cannibalism; a feast prepared for conquistadors; priests being martyred while dismantling a heathen shrine; natural history plates showing pineapples, potatoes and other New World plants; a group of Indians riding a massive sea creature, and more. Fray Bernardo Buil accompanied Columbus on his second voyage (1493-96). A cleric sent with special ecclesiastical authority, Buil quickly became one of the admiral s sharpest internal critics. At the struggling settlement of La Isabela, Buil clashed with Columbus over who should hold sway in the colony and condemned what he saw as Columbus s harsh methods and heavy-handed rule amid shortages, unrest, and fraught relations with Indigenous communities. The rupture ended with Buil abandoning Hispaniola for Spain in early 1494, where he carried complaints that helped sour court opinion against Columbus s colonial governance. Plautius s Nova typis transacta navigatio (1621) casts the Columbus-Buil rupture as a showdown between Buil s claimed spiritual jurisdiction (as papal vicar/legate) and Columbus s temporal rule in the fledgling colony. Plautius's book amplifies a clerical, pro-Buil narrative in which Buil appears as a principled counterweight to Columbus s authoritarianism. The work should be read skeptically, since its agenda-driven perspective mixes authentic details with marvels and confusions. This work can be seen as a Catholic response to the more influential "Great Voyages" volumes published by the Protestant De Bry. American Indians are discussed at length and depicted in many of the plates. An Indian melody is transcribed on pages 35-36. This is one of the impudentest books known. The author's real name was Caspar Plautus, a monk at Lintz in Austria. In the most fulsome style, under his assumed n. Book.

1 vol in-folio (315 x 197 mm) de: 1 titre gravé ; [3] ff. ; 102 pp. ; [3] ff. (dont 1 schéma gravé sur bois à pleine page) ; 18 planches gravées à pleine page numérotées et 1 à demi page. La planche représentant Christophe Colomb avec une carte du monde est signée Wolfgang Kilian. (Traces de mouillures, quelques comblements disc…rets de galeries de vers). Plein vélin d'époque, dos à nerfs titré à l'encre, encadrement de filets à froid sur les plats avec, frappés à l'encre noire, un médaillon central représentant l'insigne de l'abaye Benedictine de Michaelbeuern (diocèse de Salzbourg) sur le premier plat, et un autre de leurs armes sur le second, tranches rouges, traces de lacets. Édition originale, deuxième tirage de cette fameuse relation des missionnaires bénédictins qui ont accompagné Christophe Colomb lors de son second voyage vers les Amériques. Bien que jalonné de récits miraculeux, à commencer par la messe célébrée par saint Brendan sur le dos d'une baleine (pl. 2), le récit est plein de détails authentiques des coutumes, de la flore et de la faune des Caraïbes et de ses produits agricoles. Un spécimen de musique est donné aux pages 35-36. L'auteur accuse les récits du protestant de Brys d'être remplis de mensonges, et il insiste sur les cruautés barbares des indigènes à l'appui de la notion que Satan aurait régné sur les religions amérindiennes. Seule la première gravure est signée, par Wolfgang Kilian (1581-1662), maître-graveur d'Augsbourg, mais les autres sont de style comparable et ont probablement été également exécutés par lui. La planche de Kilian montre un portrait complet de Colomb sous un globe ou une carte circulaire, avec l'inscription "Almirante de nauios par las Indias". Bel exemplaire. 1 vol. in-folio (315 x 197 mm) of : 1 engraved title ; [3] ff. ; 102 pp. ; [3] ff. (including 1 full-page woodcut diagram); 18 numbered full-page engraved plates and 1 half-page plate. The plate depicting Christopher Columbus with a world map is signed Wolfgang Kilian. (Traces of wetness, some discrete fillings of wormholes). Contemp. vellum. First Edition, second issue of this famous relation of the Benedictine missionaries who accompanied Columbus on his second voyage to the Americas. Although laced with miraculous accounts, beginning with the mass celebrated by St. Brendan on the back of a whale (pl. 2), the narrative is full of authentic details of Caribbean customs, flora and fauna, and agricultural products. A specimen of music is given on pp. 35-36. The author accuses the Protestant de Brys' accounts of being filled with lies, and dwells on the barbaric cruelties of the natives in support of the notion that Satan ruled the native American religions. Only the first engraving is signed, by Wolfgang Kilian (1581-1662), Augsburg master-engraver, but the others are comparable in style and were probably also executed by him. Kilian's plate shows a full length portrait of Columbus under a globe or circular map, with the inscription "Almirante de nauios par las Indias." Fine copy, nicely bound.
