We can only trace one other copy appearing in auction records (Sotheby's, The Library of William O'Brien, 2017).Ulrich Hahn was a pioneering printer, having claim to numerous groundbreaking advancements. Along with Arnold Pannartz and Konrad Sweynheym, Hahn produced the first book printed with moveable type in Rome in 1467. Furthermore, 'It is believed that the first book printed in Italy with woodcuts in the text and with an ascertained date is the work of a German established at Rome, Ulrich Hahn, in 1467'. (Henri Bouchet, The Printed Book, 1887, p. 46) and Hahn's Missale secundum consuetudinem curie romane, printed in 1476, is believed to be the first time music was printed with movable type.

The first Volume containeth the worthy Discoveries, & c. of the English toward the north and northeast by Sea, as of Lapland, Scrikfinia, Cortlia, the Baie of S.

This copy includes the Voyage to Cadiz account after Eee3 (pages 607/619). This section was suppressed by Elizabeth I after the disgrace of the Earl of Essex in 1599, but the sheets were not destroyed. In some copies sold after Elizabeth's death, these sheets were reinserted. Regarding the map, Pforzheimer notes: 'it is generally allowed that the map which belongs in that third volume, only occasionally found, was not issued with all copies.'The entire third volume is devoted to America: 'The Third and last Volume of the Voyages, Navigations, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation, and in some few places, where they have not been, of strangers, performed within and before the time of these hundred yeeres, to all parts of the Newfound world of America, or the West Indies... as namely to Engronland, Meta Incognita, Estoti land, Tierra de Labrador, Newfoundland, up the grand bay, the gulfe of S.

Together with the two renowned and prosperous voyages of Sir Francis Drake and Mr. Thomas Candish round about the circumference of the whole earth'. According to Church, ' Hakluyt's Principall Navigations was the fruit of a life devoted to promoting the cause of English colonisation and commerce by disseminating knowledge about, and stimulating interest in, all the less known, or recently discovered parts of the world', and the supplement 'contains fourteen rare works not easily accessible in any other form, and is quite as important as either of the volumes published in [Hakluyt's] time.'

The work is divided into three parts: the Levant Company and early travels to Africa and the Near and Middle East; the search for the Northeast Passage and travels in Russia and Central Asia; and exploits in the Western Hemisphere such as those by Hawkins and Frobisher, Drake, Davis, and Cavendish. Hakluyt met and interviewed these men, and others, and corresponded with Mercator and Ortelius to amass and translate ancient and contemporary accounts -- while never travelling farther than France. He was also a vigourous propagandist and empire-builder, particularly with regard to America and the ousting of Spain from its maritime prominence. He recommended the capture of the Straits of Magellan, pleaded for voyages in search of a North-East or North-West Passage, became a consultant to the East India Company and a patentee of the Virginia Company. His small volume of Divers Voyages (1582) was totally eclipsed by this 1589 Principall Navigations in which Hakluyt sought 'to make available the best and latest information on trades and places which England might profitably exploit'. It was never reprinted (rather, expanded for the 1598-1600 edition) and many of the printed narratives were so close in time to the actual voyages that they were 'tumbled in while the book was in the press, making them more vivid and effective, and in some cases the only extant record' (Alan Burns, the Hakluyt Society, 1965). Although Hakluyt was compelled to suppress Drake's voyage from the first edition, 'he appears to have printed a few copies privately' according to Sabin.
