Jan Huygen van Linschoten’s ‘Itinerario’, ‘The Key to the East’
About the Item
Rare and complete English edition of Van Linschoten's 'Itinerario'. The Itinerario is one of the most important early travel books, apparently used by ships sailing to India from Holland. It includes accurate sailing directions to the East Indies and many translations of Spanish and Portuguese documents on geography. Part III comprises an interesting account of America.
Title: his Discours of Voyages into ye Easte & West Indies. Devided into Foure Bookes Printed at London by JOHN WOLFE Printer to ye Honourable Cittie of LONDON. Published in London in 1598.
Contains illustrated copper title and 3 engr. title vignettes (small maps) as well as 10 folding copper maps and 3 folding copper plates with views of S. Helena & Ascension (lower margin usually cut away, here untrimmed) and 4 woodcut maps in text. Additionally with 25 plates (depicting costumes and plants) and 2 maps of Goa and Angra.
One of the maps is the rare and much sought after 'Spice Map'. The map, Insulae Moluccae engraved by Petrus Plancius the great Dutch engraver and first Hydrographer to the Dutch East India Company (VOC), is the rarest and most valuable of the printed maps of the Spice Islands. It is estimated that only some 20 original prints exist in the world of which more than 50 percent are found in museums and National Libraries.
