Erste Ausgabe. - Vorausgegangen waren Tramezzinos Sammlungen "Diversi avisi" u. die erste Folge der "Nuovi avisi". - Vorliegender 4. Bd. über Japan, China, Goa, Äthiopien, Brasilien, etc. - Early valuable collection of letters from the Jesuit missions in Asia. In almost every case the first reliable accounts of the Far East which reached Europe were letters from the Jesuit missionaries full of first hand information: social, cultural, political, ethnographic, commercial, geographical, economic and religious. It was the detail and apparent accuracy of their scholarly yet practical reports which prompted merchants, seamen and governments to follow them in opening up to European interests the farthest corners of the known world. - Ohne Titelbl., gebräunt (Anfang stärker), Anfang etw. randrissig, gegen Ende leicht wasserrandig.
