MARKHAM CR. & EC Rye. C. R.
Progress of Discovery on the Coasts of New Guinea With Bibliographical Appendix.
Mansfield Centre CT: Martino Publishing 2003. Reprint of the 1886 edition. Octavo. 72pp. Black gilt cloth. As new. In 1511 the Portuguese Antonio de Abreu had made a voyage from the Aru Islands to the Moluccas and had possibly sighted the coast of New Guinea. But it was Don Jorge de Meneses a Portuguese commander sent from Malacco to take charge at the Moluccas in 1526 who was the actual discoverer. Meneses little dreamt of the significance of his discovery that he had reached one of the largest islands in the world-covering 306000 square miles 1500 miles long and 500 wide and as large as France and Britain put together. Remaining parts of the island would not be explored until the 17th century. There is very little bibliographical material published on the early history and discovery of New Guinea. Rye's is the first bibliography on the subject mentioned in Besterman. He cites approximately 800 publications on the subject. The arrangement of the material is alphabetical by author. Markham adds a concise and useful history of the exploration of the island. Scarce in any edition. Besterman 4224. . Hard Cover. Martino Publishing Hardcover

Born in Douai Spanish Netherlands he was attached at an early age to the English community of St. Bonaventure's convent there and became a Franciscan Recollect friar and taught philosophy and divinity. Sent on the English mission he resided for many years in Oxfordshire and in 1695 he was tutor in the family of Henry Fermor of Tusmore. His advocacy of Cartesianism met with strong resistance from Samuel Parker who would become bishop of Oxford.1 Towards the close of his life he engaged in sharp controversies on metaphysical topics with John Sergeant a secular priest. At the twenty-third chapter of his order assembled in London on 9 July 1693 he was elected provincial and he held that office till his death on 9 August 1699. He lived a studious and retired life. He is noted for the effort he made to render the approach of Descartes more apparently scholastic to improve its reception with traditionalists. see Wiki Samuel Roycroft hardcover
