CHARLEVOIX [Pierre Frncois Xavier de, S.J.]
Historire et description du Japon d'apres le P. de Charlevoix ... 4th ed., engraved frontis. and titlepage, 2 engraved plates, contemporary blue calf, panelled in gilt, spine decorated gilt in compartments, rubbed, small 8vo., Tours: Mame, 1844
Note: Abriged from a larger work first published in 1736, it
is the compilation of the French Jesuit tarveller and historian Pierre Charlevoix (1682-1761). While Charlevoix travelled extensively in
Canada and America, he never visited Japan. His work relies essentialy on the unpublished German work of Engelbrecht Kaempfer (1651-1716). The work became the main source of information for the general reader.
