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 discrets 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.…
