Si tratta di uno delle più importanti opere consacrate alle prime spedizioni nel Pacifico del Sud. “Il suo studio fa epoca nella conoscenza dell’Oceania(...). De Brosses, raccogliendo tutti i testi conosciuti dai viaggiatori, chiama a raccolta tutti gli studiosi e aiutò a creare un clima favorevole alle esplorazioni scientifiche e alle installazioni coloniali” (O’Reilly 93). Si tratta di una raccolta di narrazioni della maggioranza dei più famosi viaggiatori nei Mari del Sud, cominciando dal secondo viaggio di Vespucci nel 1502 fino ai viaggi di Magellano, Drake, Schouten, Tasman, etc. (Pézennes, France). “Questa è un’opera estremamente importante e completa sui viaggi, e un’opera eccezionale sulla preistoria dell’Australasia (Hill, p.35).

Contemporary fine French marbled calf binding, red edges with bands and golden title on the spine.

It is one of the most important works devoted to the first expeditions to the South Pacific. "His study made an epoch in the knowledge of Oceania (...). De Brosses, gathering all the texts known by travelers, summons all the scholars and helped to create a climate favourable to scientific explorations and colonial installations "(O'Reilly 93). It is a collection of narratives of the majority of the most famous travelers in the South Seas, starting from the second voyage of Vespucci in 1502 up to the journeys of Magellan, Drake, Schouten, Tasman, etc. (Pézennes, France). "This is an extremely important and complete work on travel, and an exceptional work on the early history of Australasia (Hill, p.35). Sabin, 8388.
