A fictitious place of publishing and printer were used to avoid censorship. Van Meteren , Antwerp 1535 - London 1612, is one of the best informed authors on the Dutch revolt against Spain. His work describes roughly the period between 1369 and 1609. He managed to collect many documents useful for his history and had many important contacts with men of state. His book contains also noteworthy information on commerce and shipping of his time, especially on the voyages to the North and the East Indies. This edition surprisingly not often on the market. - Verduyn, pp. 210-14; Haitsma Mulier/v.d. Lem 333d (note); NNBW VII, 868-70.

GERMANY -- (SOLIGNAC, P.J. de la PIMPIE de, or D.-F. de MERVEILLEUX). Amusemens des eaux de Schwalsbach, des bains de Wisbaden et de Schlangenbad. Avec deux relations curieuses; l'une de la Nouvelle Jerusalem; et l'autre d'une partie de la Tartarie Independante. Liège, Everard Kints, 1739. (8), 320 pp. W. ti-p. in red and black w. a woodcut vign., 4 fold. engr. plates (a map of Bad Schwalbach, a map and a fortification plan of "Nouvelle Jerusalem" (= Mannheim), and a view of "Mont Payen" (= Heidelberg)). Cont. cf. w. dec. gilt back & red label. (Lge-fold. plate a bit browned on fold, a few small stains in places). NOTE:Second edition of a daring French satire of the German court of the Elector Palatine Karl Philipp (1661-1742), who moved the Palatinate's capital from Heidelberg (here Mont Payen) to the new city of Mannheim (here New Jerusalem) in 1720. The first edition appeared in 1738. As the title suggests, the story revolves around the mineral baths of Langen-Schwalbach (now Bad Schwalbach, near Wiesbaden), where members of the court took cures and enjoyed themselves, but it is mostly concerned with anecdotes about food, drink and pretty girls, though it also discusses matters of war, exotic lands, religion and freemasonry. The book is generally credited to the Frenchmen David François de Merveilleux (1665?-1748) or Pierre Joseph de La Pimpie de Solignac (1687-1773).

(Engr. map to the first vol. lacks (as often), small rep. to outer blank margin of first ti., a few o. small rep. and marginal tears, some fold. plates a bit creased, slightly browned/foxed in places, but a very fine set). NOTE:Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726 or 1727), Dutch portrait painter and traveller. In 1674 he decided to leave The Netherlands for Rome where he became a member of the Bentveughels, a company of Dutch and Flemish painters. After two and a half years in Rome he continued his journey in 1677 to the Near East. His voyages took him to Turkey, several Greek islands, Egypt, Palestine, Syria and Cyprus. In 1684 he travelled to Venice where he continued to work for eight years with the German painter Carlo Loth. In 1693 he returned to The Hague where he saw his 'Klein Asia' through the press. The large folded map lacks as often, because it was published later (see verso leaf ***). In 1701 he started this second journey which led him to Russia, Persia, India and Indonesia. In Russia he visited Archangelsk and the Samoyeds in North Russia. He was also commissioned to paint the cousins of Czar Peter with whom De Bruin also had a conversation in Dutch. In Persia he visited Persepolis and Ispahan. In 1705 he went to Ceylon and Java. The drawings he made, especially the large folding panoramic views of Moscow (30 x 190 cm), Ispahan (30 x 190 cm) and Persepolis (in 4 parts measuring in total 30 x 250 cm!), are very important because they are the first foreign representations of that kind and beautifully executed. - Tiele, 207 & 209; Drijvers, (e.a.).
