Description
1599. London: George Bishop and Ralph Newberie, Deputies to Christopher Barker, 1599-1600. Folio, 3 parts in 2 vols. (24), 1-620; (16), 1-312, 1-204; (16), 1-868 pp. Early 18th century mottled calf, rebacked, retaining original backstrips; a handful of leaves with repair and reinforcement. Edges dyed red. Pencil and ink annotations citing the Irish provenance of the Orrery Library, with ink shelf marks and engraved bookplates on the verso of the title-pages. § An internally sound and complete copy of the second edition (second issue) with good provenance. Lacking the map as almost always. Members of the Boyle family were Earls of Cork, Earls of Orrery, and Earls of Burlington. The earldoms of Cork and Orrery were united in 1753 when John Boyle, 5th Earl of Orrery, succeeded his third cousin as 5th Earl of Cork. This second edition is much expanded compared with the first edition of 1589 and can even be called "an entirely new work" (Parker), with its scope widened to include non-English explorations, and the text increasing threefold. Hakluyt himself never traveled further afield than France, but he met or corresponded with many of the great explorers, navigators and cartographers including Drake, Raleigh, Gilbert, Frobisher, Ortelius and Mercator. In addition to long and significant descriptions of the Americas in Vol. III, the work also contains accounts of Russia, Scandinavia, the Mediterranean, Turkey, Middle East, Persia, India, Southeast Asia, and Africa. "It is difficult to overrate the importance and value of this extraordinary collection of voyages" (Sabin). Church 322; Hill 743; Pforzheimer 443; PMM 105; Sabin 29595, 29597, 29598.
