First Edition
Large 8°, publisher's cloth with dust jacket. As new. xlvi pp., (1 l.), 663 pp., with 8 ll. illus. *** FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING of the first complete English translation and first critical edition in any language, with substantial notes, several glossaries, a gazetteer and a bibliography: essential for anyone interested in this classic of Portuguese literature. The Travels, first published in 1614, recount the journey of Fernão Mendes Pinto, adventurer, trader, envoy, pirate, missionary, mercenary and fortune-seeker, who set out in 1537 in a fleet commanded by Vasco da Gama's son, hoping to become "muito rico em pouco tempo." His 21-year odyssey carried him to China, Tartary, Pegu, India, Ethiopia, Ormuz and points between. He reached Japan in 1542, and claims to have been in the first party of Europeans to land there. He may be the first to have described the Dalai Lama, the wild beasts of Asia's equatorial forests, and the horrendous Juggernaut festival.***.

Edited and translated from the Portuguese by Rebecca D. Catz. This text, ostensibly the autobiography of Portugese explorer Fernão Mendes Pinto, came second only to Marco Polo's work in exciting Europe's imagination of the Orient. Chronicling adventures from Ethiopia to Japan, Travels covers twenty years of Mendes Pinto's odyssey as a soldier, a merchant, a diplomat, a slave, a pirate, and a missionary, and continues to overwhelm questions about its source with the sheer enjoyment of its narrative. heavy, please international customers inquire on extra shipping.

First Edition
Folio, pp.[14], 326; title-page printed in red and black, woodcut headpieces and initials; a very good copy in contemporary calf, later morocco spine label, fore-edge lettered 'Pinto', traces of a clasp (for a chain?) to upper front board only.First edition in English, translated by Henry Cogan, of a travel best-seller, first published posthumously in 1614; there were nineteen editions in six languages by the end of the century, 'rivalling the popularity of Cervantes' Don Quixote. It is, in fact, an exotic and imaginative composite of fact and fiction, at once a picaresque prose epic and an authentic picture of sixteenth-century Asia' (Rebecca D.Catz, The Travels of Mendes Pinto). Mendes Pinto sailed from Portugal in a fleet commanded by Vasco de Gama in 1537 and did not return for twenty-one years, during which time he had made four visits to Japan (he even falsely claimed to be the first European to do so), as well as India, Myanmar (Burma), Vietnam, and China. Ever since the posthumous publication of his book, Pinto has lacked 'neither detractors nor defenders, and the controversy still rages unabated in the learned world. Even in seventeenth-century England people took sides, for the taunt of Congreve's clownish Foresight in Love for Love, "Ferdinand Mendes Pinto was but a type of thee, thou liar of the first magnitude", is balanced by Dorothy Osborne's charming commendation of his Peregrinaçam as "englished" by Henry Cogan Gent, in 1653, " 'Tis as diverting a book of the kind as ever I read and is as handsomely written. You must allow him the privilege of a traveller, and he does not abuse it. His lies are as pleasant harmless ones, as lies can be, and in no great number considering the scope he has for them ' But if Pinto was not one of the actual European discoverers of Japan, it is equally certain that he was one of the earliest Portuguese travelers to that country, which he visited three or four times between 1544 and 1556. He had plenty of opportunity to know the real discoverers, and pass off their adventures (with suitable additions) as his own " (C.R.Boxer, The Christian Century in Japan, Berkeley, 1951, pp.18-24). 'Gifted with keen imagination, he could exaggerate when expediency required, but he knew that in the account of his travels exaggeration was not expedient, and he was constantly on guard against the notorious scepticism of his fellow-countrymen. He may have heightened the colour occasionally, but as a rule he writes with restraint, although with delight in a good story and skill in bringing out the dramatic side of events A hundred pictures refuse to fade from the memory, whether they are of silk-laden Chinese junks or jars of gold dust, vivid descriptions of shipwreck or the awful pathos of the Queen of Martavão's death, the sketch of a supercilious Chinese mandarin or of St Francis Xavier tramping through Japan' (A.F.G.Bell, Portuguese Literature, 1922, pp.224-5).
