Frontispiece illustration of Isaac Aboab Da Fonseca (1605-93), the first rabbi in the New World.

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.

FRÉZIER, Amédée François
Relation du voyage de la Mer du Sud aux côtes du Chily et du Pérou, fait pendant les années 1712, 1713 & 1714
XIV-298-[2] pp., 37 pl Basane havane de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, tranches rouges 1716, 1716, in-4, XIV-298-[2] pp, 37 pl, Basane havane de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre rouge, tranches rouges, 37 cartes et planches, dont 18 à double page, le tout gravé en taille-douce. Édition originale de cette relation très recherchée. L'auteur, qui avait été envoyé en Amérique du sud pour espionner les installations portuaires des colonies espagnoles, donne ici des descriptions et remarques intéressantes sur les peuples, la faune, la flore et la minéralogie du Brésil du Chili et du Pérou. Il effectue plusieurs relevés qui aboutissent à la première cartographie précise de l'Amérique méridionale ; il lève notamment les cartes de la Baie de tous les Saints (pl. XXXIII) et de l'île Sainte-Catherine (pl. III) au Brésil. Parmi les planches qui illustrent l'ouvrage se trouve celle qui représente le fraisier du Chili, en grandeur naturelle. Ce fraisier "différend du nôtre par les feuilles plus arrondies, plus charnues et fort velues", porte des fruits "gros comme une noix, & quelques fois comme un oeuf de poule ; ils sont d'un rouge blanchâtre & un peu moins délicat au goût que nos fraises des bois" (p. 70, pl. XI) : Frézier, au nom si prédestiné, ramena quelques pieds de cette espèce en France et les donna à Jussieu pour le Jardin Royal. Elle est à l'origine de toutes les espèces de fraises modernes. Amédée François Frézier (1682-1773), fils d'un gentilhomme écossais réfugié en France, servit dans l'infanterie, sous les ordres du duc de Charost, puis entra dans le corps du génie comme ingénieur en 1707 ; il contribua notamment à l'amélioration des fortifications de Saint-Malo. Il est connu tant pour ses talents de cartographe que pour ses connaissances en pyrotechnie; il est en effet l'auteur de l'un des meilleurs traités sur les fusées et sur les feux d'artifice de son temps (Traité des feux d'artifice. Paris, Chez Daniel Jollet, 1706). Il a également publié un ouvrage sur la taille de la pierre et du bois. Exemplaire qui présente un amusant petit défaut d'impression : le cuivre de la lettrine "M" de la page de dédicace a été placé de travers. Bel exemplaire. Reliure restaurée. Mouillure très pâle sur un feuillet, infimes rousseurs et rares petites taches. Bel état intérieur. Borda de Moraes I, p. 281. Chadenat n° 71. Leclerc, n° 587
