It is no doubt the same book, as published in 1598, only with the address of Fr. Fabri of Douay and with the year 1603. The only difference, I have remarked, is, that it has not the leaf after the preface: In C. Wytfliet...

The originals are all very rare, many of them turned up only once or twice in Holland, during the last 30 years, and no Dutch public library possesses all these editions; some of them are wanting in all.

A very useful and creditable book containing the exact bibliographical description, with valuable historical notes. of my rare and curious collection of old Dutch voyages, formed with great expense and trouble during 17 years, and the first bibliography of old Dutch voyages. The original text of each voyage is conferred with the translations given by De Bry, amply showing the immense superiority of these originals in text, plates and maps, to the poor editions of De Bry, whose greatest merit consists in forming one single collection; the translations given by Hulsius are by far superior.The references: Tiele No... to many books in the present catalogue refer to this bibliography. 1831 Annales (Nouvelles) des voyages, de la géographie et de l'his toire, ou recueil de relations originales inédites, communiquées par des voyageurs français et étrangers, etc. Publ. p.
