“A kind of encyclopedia of everything relating to maritime affairs. Pages 592-612 contain a description of America, with three maps. The cuts are copied from De Bry.” (Sabin).

Son ‘Orbis Maritimus’ forme un in-fol. de X ff., 725 pp., IX ff., titre gravé, fig. et cartes impr. dans le texte ; entre les pages 200-201, une grande planche pliée représentant des naumachies anciennes ; les pages 578-609 traitent spécialement des deux Amériques ». (Brunet, Supp., 1122).

“Has among other merits that of being the first naval history. It is divided into two parts. The first is devoted to ancient times and the second is concerned with modern times, and the deeds of the British, French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese. South America and Brazil are described on pp. 601 and following (the description of both Americas covers pp. 592-612 with 3 maps). The work is sumptuously printed… The plates showing different kinds of sailing crafts are very quaint. The map of Brazil is most curious” (Borba de Moraes).
The first part covers ancient times (to the great discoveries of the Renaissance), emphasizing the many naval battles, but also presenting the development of navigation and geography. The second part covers recent voyages of discovery and topographical description, drawing on numerous naval and maritime sources, including travel journals by European explorers.
A very good copy, with generous margins, preserved in its contemporary vellum binding.
