With woodcut device on title-page. Stiff plain paper wrappers.
14 ll.Second edition of the Dutch translation of the peace treaty ending the Dutch-Portuguese war. The WIC Dutch West India Company and VOC Dutch East India Company were at war with the Portuguese Armada mainly to gain hegemony in the overseas colonies and trade. The war officially ended in August 1661 though the peace treaty was not ratified until 1663. “The main provisions of the treaty were as follows. Portugal was to pay the United Provinces 4 million cruzados in sixteen years as an indemnity for the loss of Netherlands Brazil . The Dutch were to be granted trade and residence in Portugal and her overseas possessions on the same terms as those already enjoyed by the English or which might be granted to the latter in the future… The treaty was to be ratified within three months and published within six; but owing to the subsequent disputes and delays the formal publication did not take place until March and April 1663” Boxer.Slightly browned and the margins somewhat thumbed. Paper wrappers soiled and spine damaged. Still a good copy.l Borba de Moraes p. 50; Boxer The Dutch in Brazil pp. 253-255; Knuttel 8730. unknown

Jews in Colonial Brazil
pp. x, 227. Footnotes. Index. List of Works Cited. Personalia. Black and white reproductions of historic documents. Frontispiece illustration of Isaac Aboab Da Fonseca (1605-93), the first rabbi in the New World. "Historiography has quite neglected the romantic and fascinating history of the underground and free-professing Jews in colonial Brazil, who formed the earliest Jewish community in America and became the "Jewish Pilgrim Fathers" of New York, as well as of Jamaica, Barbados, and other Jewish communities in the Caribbean area. The present work is an effort to fill this gap." - Preface. Wiznitzer was president of the Brazilian Jewish Institute of Historical Research and a frequent contributor to learned journals. Moderate wear to publisher's navy blue cloth brightly lettered in gilt upon backstrip. Binding intact. Prior owner's bookplate and small bookseller tag inside front board.
