Amsterdam 1624. 4*0. With woodcut on title and 12 woodcuts in the text.
Modern hf.-calf. Frs. 100.—
Second and last Dutch edition of the first book on the natural history of Ameri-
ca. It deals in the main with the West-Indies. The author, Joseph de Acosta, one of the most
interesting and valuable of the early Spanish writers on America, lived for 17 years among the
Indians of Peru. In consequence his book gives accounts of the history and wars of the Indians, &
most curious details of the Aborigines before their peculiar customs had become modified by con-
tact with the whites, etc. The woodcuts represent animals, human sacrifices, pearl-fishing, combats,
priests, etc.
The 4 leaves of the Register are cut rather short with loss of a few letters; slight stains in
places; leaf 146 repaired; otherwise a good copy.

Rare imprint from the first German press in America of Christoph Sauer, one of the

The book contains 140 songs of the anabaptists, called “Schweitzer Briide r”, most
of which glorify the martyrdom of their fellow-believers David Joris, Jan Claesz, Maria
von Beckum etc.
The songs are not all of Swiss origin but some are taken from the Anabaptists of Bohe-
mia, from Mich. Weisse’s Gesangbuch and from the Mennonits of the Netherlands.
