Saint-Vallier was Laval's successor as Bishop of Quebec 1688-1727. The present work written in the form of a letter to an anonymous friend describes his trip to New France between May 1685 and January 1687 to survey the bishopric prior to his consecration. On the voyage out he sailed on board the same vessel as the Marquis de Denonville the newly appointed Governor of New France. Saint-Vallier first visited Quebec then all of the parishes along the St. Lawrence finally arriving at Montreal. Travelling along the inland waterways he made his way with a small escort to Acadia returning to Quebec in the fall of 1686. His informal account provides descriptive details respecting the native tribes and their relations with the white settlers specific reports on missionary activities and sketchy information regarding troubles with the Iroquois.

Tinted edges. 30 370 4 p. Complete. First edition of Du Vignau’s important work dealing with the decline of the Ottoman Empire. L'état présent de la puissance Ottomane was written after the unsuccessful siege of Vienna by the Ottomans in 1683 and the following withdrawal. It deals with the possible reasons led to the decline of the Ottoman Empire and provides an overview of the period Ottoman power. The book gained interest throughout Europe and in the subsequent year a second edition was printed in the Hague and an English translation was also published. A year after the present work Du Vignau published another book Le Sécretaire turc. “In both works he described himself as a former secretary at the French embassy in Istanbul the ‘secrétaire-interprète’ to the King’s fleet in the Mediterranean and even a godson to Louis XVI. None of these claims appear to be true.” Ghobrial 2013 Sieur des Joanots Du Vignau was a pseudonym invented by Édouard de La Croix who was indeed a secretary in the French embassy in Istanbul between 1670 and 1680 and again between 1685–1686. La Croix published his Mémoires in 1684 and four other books between 1686 and his death in 1704 among them Le Sécretaire turc and the present book. “The reason for his having used a pseudonym remains unclear. Interestingly the two titles published under the name Du Vignau … are the only books written by La Croix that were not dedicated to Louis XVI but instead to the Grand Duke of Tuscany an indication perhaps of his attempts to cultivate a new patron in the person of Cosimo III de’ Medici.” Ghobrial 2013 Scarce we could trace only 3 copies in institutional holdings BL; BnF; Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon.
