L'illustration comprend un frontispice et 15 superbes planches d'après Bernard Picart et Debrie gravées en taille-douce par Duflos, Folkema et Morellou La Cave, ainsi que 2 cartes (sur 3 , manque la carte du Pérou) dépliantes , Carte de la Louisiane et du cours du Mississippi par Guillaume de l Isle(eo 1718) avec de nombreuses mentions de tribus indiennes et une carte du Cours du Mississippi , inspiré par Hennepin , qui montre le territoire allant de la baie d'Hudson au golfe du Mexique et du cours supérieur du Rio Grande à l'embouchure du Saint-Laurent , La Nouvelle Orléans y est mentionné alors que la première carte ne l indique pas. Garcilasso de La Vega (1539-1616), chroniqueur que l'on surnommait l'Inca, était le fils d un conquistador et de la princesse Chimpu Ocllo, nièce du monarque inca Tupac Yupanqui. Son ouvrage principal, paru en 1609 sous le titre « Comentarios reales de los Incas », est regardé comme une source très précieuse pour l'histoire de la civilisation inca et la conquête des Espagnols , l'auteur, d'ascendance mixte, tente une synthèse entre l'apport des deux peuples, ne cachant son admiration ni pour l'un ni pour l'autre .

Rousseurs au premier tome, une petite déchirure à une carte. Veau havane, dos fauves à nerfs. Reliure de l'époque. Dos refaits à l'identique, coins anciennement restaurés. Nouvelle édition de la traduction par J. Boudoin et P. Richelet des ouvrages majeurs de Garcilaso de La Vega (1539-1616). Les « Comentarios reales de los Incas », paru en 1609, se composent de deux parties, la première décrivant les origines, la religion, les lois et de nombreux autres détails concernant l'empire et les politiques incas avant l'invasion par les Espagnols. La deuxième partie décrivant la conquête par les Espagnols n'a pas été traduite dans cette édition. Les archives contemporaines de Vega sur la première période espagnole au Pérou sont des plus précieuses, car elles sont basées sur des témoignages oculaires et des observations personnelles. Au deuxième tome on retrouve l'autre grand ouvrage de Garcilaso de la Vega sur De Soto et les aborigènes de Floride, initialement publié sous le titre "La Florida del Ynca" en 1605. L'auteur naît à Cuzco en 1539, d une mère Inca appartenant à la descendance de Tupac Inca Yupanqui, et d un père espagnol, conquistador, le capitaine Garcilaso de la Vega, apparenté aux maisons des ducs de Feria, des Zafra, des Lasso de la Vega, des Vargas. Cette édition est également recherchée parce qu elle contient au tome II (pp. 223-373), la relation de Louis Hennepin, désigné par ses supérieurs pour les missions de la Nouvelle-France, sur la découverte intitulée Nouvelle découverte d un pays plus grand que l Europe situé dans l Amérique (EO 1698). Bel exemplaire de cet ouvrage réunissant des textes majeurs pour l'histoire du Pérou, des Etats Unis et du Canada. Bien complet des illustrations. Provenance : De la bibliothèque des Fitzgerald Ducs de Leinster avec ex-libris armorié (L'ancien cri de guerre devenu la devise "CROM A BOO"). Sabin, 98752; Brunet II, 1483.

12mo (100 x 65mm). 2 parts in one volume. ff.[8 (last leaf blank)], 116; 87, [1]. Contemporary Spanish limp vellum, yapp edges, lettered on spine, remnants of green silk ties (slightly loose in binding). Madrid: Luis Sánchez, A rare edition of the secular poetry of courtier and soldier-poet Garcilaso de la Vega (1501?-1536). This edition contains 37 of de la Vega?s sonnets, followed by 5 canciones, 2 elegies, the ?epistola a Boscan,? 3 eclogues, letras castellanas (including one in prose), a poem in Latin addressed to Ferdinando de Acuna, and an index of poetry. Born in Toledo, Garcilaso de la Vega entered the court of Charles V at a young age, and spent much of his life as a soldier on the Holy Roman Emperor?s campaigns in various theatres across Europe. His poetic legacy is significant; for generations he represented the ideal courtly poet-soldier (resembling Philip Sidney, in England) and was instrumental in introducing Italian literary forms and metres into Spanish literature, from the sonnet to ottava rima (octavas reales). His secular verses were hugely popular; some of these indeed were bowdlerized by Castilian poet and writer, Sebastián de Córdoba (?1545-?1604). De la Vega?s poems first appeared in print posthumously, in 1543, with those of Juan Boscàn Almugaver (1487? -1542?) (Las obras de Boscán y algunas de Garcilasso de la Vega repartidas en quatro libros), and continued to be so, in various editions from then on. The 1543 Barcelona and 1544 Medina del Campo editions were in 4to; thereafter most of the editions were in 12mo format, as here. The first separate edition of his work would seem to be that published in Madrid in 1570, followed by a 12mo of 1581 published in Salamanca by Lucas Junta (Giunta). This was reprinted in Madrid in 1600, in Naples in 1604, and by Juan de la Cuesta in Madrid in 1612. The editor of this critical edition was Tomás Tamayo de Vargas (ca. 1589- ca. 1641) a noted man of letters, also born in Toledo. His life of Garcilaso makes frequent mention of later Spanish poets who honoured de la Vega?s memory, and his learned commentary in the second part is replete with parallels from Roman poets (Ovid, Horace, Valerius Flaccus, Plautus and others) and other classical sources. There are also references to contemporary scholars and their work (including Casaubon and Rhodoman) alongside the inclusion of contemporary poets. Present here are the verses of Portuguese Camoens and Lobo; the diplomat, poet and collector Diego Hurtado de Mendoza (1503-75) from Spain; and Italian poets and writers Petrarch, Bembo, Tasso and Trissino. Also present are ?las Rimas Christianas de Madama Gabriela? (f.81), likely Gabrielle de Coignard of Toulouse (d. 1594). A few leaves with minor marginal damp-stains, small tear in f. 57. PALAU 354699. See A. Gallego Morell, Garcilaso de Vega y sus comentaristas: obras completes del poeta acompanadas de los textos integros de los comentarios?

First Edition in English. This copy has two title pages, one with the Tonson imprint rubricated (black and red), the other with the Heyrick imprint in black only. Sabin states: "As some copies have only the black titles and some only the rubricated ones, while others have both, it seems possible that all the issues were originally published with two titles." Engraved portrait frontispiece of translator Paul Rycaut, the rubricated title page in red and black, and 10 copperplate engravings. Folio, an especially handsome copy, bound in its original contemporary speckled English calf, the spine with raised bands, the compartments with floriated panels decorated in gilt, red morocco lettering piece gilt, the covers with a border decorations rolled in blind and double-filleted rules at the borders. 1019. A superb copy of this rare and early work. The book remains in its original binding. The text-block is crisp, clean and unpressed, The engraved illustrations are all in excellent condition. A truly wonderful copy and especially fine survival of a book rarely if ever found in such condition. RARE FIRST EDITION OF THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT EARLY HISTORY OF THE INCAN CIVILIZATION AND OF THE CONQUEST OF PERU BY THE SPANISH. De la Vega was a prince of Incan royalty by virtue of his mother, who was descended from the last Incan King of Peru. He took great pride in his Incan ancestry, styling himself "Garcilasso Inca" and becoming a dedicated student of the Peruvian language and traditions. However, the translator also tells us that "the Spanish humour was most prevalent in him, so that he delighted much to tell us, as in diverse places, that he was [also] the son of Garcilasso de la Vega, one of the first Conquerours of the new World." Such an illustrious ancestry provides for a rendering of the history of the Incan civilization from a unique point of view. The first section of the text details the early history of the Incas before the Spanish conquest, including their laws and government and other "particulars relating to their Empire and Policies." The second part details the Spanish conquest and the various civil wars and rebellions that came along with them and after them. The first part was published in Lisbon in 1609, and the second part in 1617. This edition is the first English translation by Sir Paul Rycaut. This is a classic work, comprehensive and painstakingly researched, and remains today one of the chief authorities on the subject of ancient Peru.
