Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. FIRST EDITION. Small 4to. pp. [10] 40 [2], final blank. Roman letter, little italic. Historiated woodcut initials and ornaments. Age yellowed, t-p lightly dusty, occasional marginal stain. Trimmed, with loss of much of imprint date, missing running title on some upper margins, lesser shaving to marginal notes, and signatures. Contemporary mss. 'est liber meus' to final leaf of text and 'Willi Aerton' to recto blank. A good copy in contemporary vellum. First edition of a pioneering first-hand account of explorer Henri de Feynes' voyage to the East Indies and China, the first Frenchman to visit them. It was translated by Jean Loiseau de Tourval, a Frenchman renowned at the time within English literary circles for his extensive translations, who came to London in 1603 and spied for King James I. In fact, this edition precedes the French original, which was not published until 1630. Until the late 16th century, travel to these parts of the world had been limited to a handful of European explorers such as Marco Polo (1254-1324) and Niccolo de' Conti (c.1395-1469) and missionary priests. De Feynes' journey marks the beginning of greater Western interest in the far East, as merchants increasingly followed in his footsteps. Setting out from Paris in 1608, possibly at the behest of King Henry IV, de Feynes spent three months travelling by land through the Middle East, joining the Baghdad caravan at Aleppo on the way to Isfahan, before advancing through Hormuz and onto India. He continues onto Goa and travels across India, touring Sri Lanka and the islands of Southern Asia, before settling briefly in Canton, modern Guangzhou, in early 1609. The city was the only place foreign merchants and travellers were allowed to stay, and it remains one of the world's busiest mercantile hubs. He returned via ship, by way of Mozambique, to Lisbon. On his travels, the author comments extensively on the size and beauty of each city, comparing their magnitude to cities in France, as well as local customs, religion, and exotic foods such as melon and pineapple. He makes one of the earliest references to coffee, which he calls 'caahiette'. Particular admiration is expressed for the Mogul palace, likely belonging to Jahangir (1569-1627), the fourth Mogul emperor. He also notes the extensive Dutch and Portuguese presence in many of the East Indian islands. Arriving in China, he describes the thriving silk industry and how silk is made, in addition to the traditional practice of female foot-binding and cormorant fishing, a technique whereby a loose snare is fastened to the bird, preventing him from swallowing larger fish, allowing fishermen to access to those that are regurgitated. A rare account of early travel and exploration in the Far East. ESTC: S102015; Cox: p.266; Lowndes: IV 1583; Cordier: 872; not in Blackmer.

Paris, Pierre Rocolet, 1630. In-8° (178 x 112 mm), vélin ivoire souple, dos lisse encadré en long de doubles filets dorés, les deux plats ornés au centre d'un fer ovale doré à rinceaux de feuillages et fleurettes, dans un encadrement de doubles filets dorés (reliure de l'époque), (1) f. titre-frontispice, (16), 212 pages. Edition originale de la plus grande rareté, ornée d'un remarquable titre-frontispice gravé sur cuivre figurant une allégorie du voyage et des continents.Henri de Feynés (ca 1573-1647), gentilhomme dauphinois de la maison du roi, y relate l'un des voyages les plus étendus et les plus précoces accomplis par un Français jusqu'en Chine."Ce voyage d'un gentilhomme de la cour d'Henri IV jusqu'à Canton, entre 1606 et 1609, constitue un événement majeur dans l'histoire des voyages français au XVIIe siècle" (Dirk van der Cruysse).Il quitte la France en 1606; chargé par Henri IV d'une mission d'information officieuse, et voyageant sous le nom de "comte de Monfart", il emprunte un itinéraire exceptionnel passant par Venise, Alep, Bagdad et Ispahan, à la cour de Shah Abbas Ier, puis par Ormuz, l'Inde et Goa, avant Malacca, les Moluques, Macao et Canton. Il y décrit le commerce de la soie et des porcelaines, observe la pêche pratiquée à l'aide d'oiseaux dressés, les cormorans, s'étonne des pieds bandés des femmes de qualité et mentionne un breuvage encore inconnu en France, le café, qu'il nomme "cahayette"; témoignage d'autant plus précieux qu'il faut attendre la fin du XVIIe siècle pour voir d'autres Français parvenir jusqu'en Chine.Le retour s'effectue par mer autour du cap de Bonne-Espérance. Arrêté à Lisbonne en 1611, soupçonné d'espionnage, il y est libéré en 1613 grâce à l'intervention du duc de Mayenne.Rédigé entre 1606 et 1608 dans un style précis et résolument laïque, le texte constitue une source de premier ordre sur la Perse safavide, l'Empire moghol sous Jahangir, les établissements portugais d'Asie et les premières tentatives françaises de pénétration commerciale en Extrême-Orient.Une traduction anglaise anonyme parut à Londres dès 1615 sous le titre "An Exact and Curious Survey of all the East Indies". (Cordier, 'Bibliotheca Sinica', col. 207. Chadenat, 634. Van der Cruysse, 'Le Noble Désir de courir le monde', 2002, p. 28-30. Lach & Van Kley, 'Asia in the Making of Europe', III, 1, p. 401. Lust, 'Western Books on China', n° 47). Provenance: "J'appartiens à Monsieur de La Leu [à] Avesnes" avec ex-libris manuscrit à l'époque sur la première garde blanche.
