World Map. Plate with 18 time zones to construct a Terrestrial Globe.Italy, early 18th century Copperplate engraving. Sheet measuring 553x453 mm. Engraved 516x312 mm. 18 time zones on two bands. Toponyms in Italian. Trace of folding, small restored tear in upper margin, overall good condition, undamaged sheet, untrimmed. Very rare plate with a set of eighteen globe time zones. It contains a few dates, the latest 1702. The part concerning America is of considerable interest, with California represented as an island. Australia "New Holland" is outlined in the Pacific Ocean. Discovered in the year 1644.Of notable interest is the part dealing with America, with California depicted as an island. In the Pacific Ocean is outlined Australia 'New Holland Discovered the year 1644' ['New Holland Discovered the year 1644]. The routes of the most important naval voyages of the time are also indicated. Among these: the voyage of Dutch navigator Willem Cornelisz Schouten, who rounded Cape Horn in 1616, listed as discoverer of 'Terra de Papous ... Terra de Papous ... discovered by Gulielmo Scouten Dutch ... l'an 1616' [Land of Papua ... discovered by Gulielmo Scouten Dutch ... the year 1616] ; the arrival in France of the Siam Embassy in 1686, on two French ships 'Road made from Siam to Brest the year 1686' [Road made from Siam to Brest the year 1686]; The voyage of the Jesuits, led by Papal Legate Maillard de Tournon, to Pondicherry and China in 1702 'Canaries to Pondisery and China the year 1702' [Canaries to Pondisery and China the year 1702], since the mission made a long stop in the Canary Islands. This map of the world is unknown to Shirley, who reports two plates, both much smaller, that show some similarity: one by Anonymous with 9 gores, dated 1660, also with place names in Italian, but with much less information and documentation, and less cartographic accuracy; the other by Pierre du Val, dated 1666, with 12 time zones and place names in French. This map also contains less news and no navigators' routes.

Histoire de ce qui s'est passé au Royaume du Tibet. Tirée des lettres escriptes en l'année 1626. Addressee a R.P. Mutio VitelleschiPp. [8], 104. Pinter's device on the three titlepages. Adorned headpieces and initials. On the first titlepage an ancient note of ownership. Little abrasions on binding, internally some brownings and slight stains, traces of wear. Good and fresh copy. First French edition. Three reports written by Jesuits on mission in China, Ethiopia and Tibet and sent to Father Mutio Vitelleschi, General of the Jesuit Company are collected. During his mandate, the presence of the Jesuits in China became significant. I work: Chadenat: "Curieux et rare recuei." The author of the letters from China, which expose what happened in 1624, is probably Wencelas Pantaléon Kirwitzer who signs the last of the letters. But the work has sometimes been attributed to Father Darde or Father Jean-Baptiste Machault. The first two chapters give an overview of the political situation in China and the progress of the Christian religion in that country at the time. The other letters testify to the situation of the various missions established in the country. Kirwitzer, an astronomer and mathematician, joined the Jesuits in 1606. He went on a mission to Asia with other Jesuits in 1618, stayed in Goa and China, where he died in 1626.Cordier, BS 815; Streit, 2136 and 2127; Chadenat 4896; de Backer-S. II, 1824. Löwendahl 81. II work: Paëz, who was martyred in Ethiopia in 1635, gives a detailed account of the country, the state of the church in the country and the activities of the various Jesuit missions. The work was apparently translated by the Jesuit Jean Darde.Sommervogel, V, 258 ; Carayon 906. Unknown to Chadenat, Brunet et Barbier. III work: Letters of Antoine de Andrade during his second trip to Tibet, translated into French by Father Jean Darde. Antonio de Andrade was a Portuguese Jesuit missionary who was sent to Goa and then Agra. After hearing about Christian communities outside the Himalayas, he decided to go there. In 1624 it was he, with his Jesuit brother Manuel Marques, the first Western European, who went to Tibet. After Andrade obtained permission to open a mission in Tsaparang, the capital of Guge, one of many kingdoms in Tibet, he returned to Goa. He wrote a long and enthusiastic letter translated into many languages and returned to Tsaparang to start the mission. But in 1630 the kingdom was invaded by the troops of the king of Ladakh and the missionaries were expelled. This book contains the story of this second journey and the beginning of the mission.Streit V, 310; Cordier BS 2901.
