Synopsis

Bref Récit Et Succincte Narration De La Navigation Faite En 1535 Et 1536 Par Le Capitaine Jacques Cartier Aux Iles De Canada Hochelaga, Saguenay Et Autres by Jacques Cartier. This edition presents Cartier's first-hand narrative of his exploration of Canada during 1535–1536, focusing on the voyage to the Îles de Canada, Hochelaga, Saguenay, and other shores. It is a figurated reprint of the rare original edition from 1545 and includes variants from Manuscripts in the Imperial Library. The volume provides scholarly apparatus, notes on source documents, and an appendix surveying French and English discoveries in North America up to 1619, along with plates illustrating Cartier’s manor. The editors discuss linguistic features of the sailor’s French and argue for Cartier as the likely author of the primitive relation, offering insight into early modern geographic writing and French maritime exploration in the Canada region.
