Herz on the front paste-down, his sale Important Voyages and Travels, 9th December 2009, lot 137 First edition in German of Part 15 of Hulsius's famous co…llection of travel accounts published between 1598-1650. This volume is a translation of Robert Coverte's "A true and almost incredible Report of an Englishman, that (being cast away in the good Ship called The Assention, in Cambaya, the farthest Part of the East Indies) Travelled by Land through many unknowne Kingdomes, and Great Cities." first published in 1612. Coverte and his men were among the first Englishmen to see the Cape of Good Hope, in July 1608. Penrose describes this account as a "vigorous narrative.it relates its author's reception by the Emperor Jahangir, and his tedious journey across India, Afghanistan, and Persia, and as such is one of the best examples of a travel journal that the period produced." "This celebrated collection of voyages, which was doubtless suggested by the success that had attended the publications of the series by the brothers De Bry: is in some respects an imitation of these., in others it is superior" (Sabin). Indeed de Bry did publish Coverte's account in the second section of Part XI of his "Small Voyages". Church 306; JCB 1: 493; Sabin 33668. Catalogued by Kate Hunter.

The second edition of Hulsius's German translation from the 1612 edition. 4to. Engraved fignette on the title. Modern boards. 75pp. Franckfurt, Le Blon, Coverte's account of the fourth east india Company voyage to the East Indies, following the first edition published in London in 1612. The author was steward on board the Ascens…ion under Capt. Sharpey they left Plymouth with a companion vessel the Union , in March 1607, and, on their voyage south, were among the first Englishmen to see the Cape of Good Hope, arriving there in July 1608. The Ascension having separated from the the Union in a storm reached India, via Madagascar, Pemba Island and Socotra, the ship ran aground while approaching Surat. Not granted permission to remain in Surat, the crew departed to various destinations. Coverte and others set out for the Moghul Court at Agra, arriving there in December 1609. He and other crew members left Agra in January 1610 "with the intention of making their way back to the Levant by the overland route. Travelling by way of Kandahar, Esfahan, and Baghdad.they reached Aleppo in December 1610 and from the coast of the Levant sailed for England. They subsequently arrived home in April 1611" (Howgego). An absorbing account presented in the form of a travel diary, Penrose described the work as a "vigorous narrative.it relates its author's reception by the Emperor Jahangir, and his tedious journey across India, Afghanistan, and Persia, and as such is one of the best examples of a travel journal that the period produced." As pointed out by Parker ( Books to Build an Empire ) "This voyage marks the lowest depth to which the company's misfortunes sank in its early years, for the loss of the two ships nearly ruined it financially . during these years of unprededented English travel and trade into the east there was a great dearth of literature describing the voyages of the East India company's ships. between 1608 and 1614 only one book appeared which described England's new-found commerce. Church 307. cf.Howgego, C211; Penrose (Travel & Discovery in the Renaissance), p324.; Parker ( Books to Build an Empire ) p181 et sec.; Mendelssohn, p.388.
