(8),495,(13) pp. € 3.500,00 First edition. - This book is claimed to be translated from the papers of an English nobleman but according to Tiele it was composed by G. Broekhuizen. ‘ G. van Broekhuizen, a seventeenth-century translator and publisher from Amsterdam, had read enough travel accounts to be able to compose one himself. Edward Melton’s voyage to Egypt, the West Indies, Persia, Turkey, The East Indies and neighbouring regions is pure fiction, but van Broekhuizen inserted enough curiosities to make his book interesting’ (Koster, To Hellen’s noble land, 32). Muller, at the other hand states ‘ this description is rendered still more important by the circumstance, that Melton was at New-York in 1668, in the height of the quarrel between England and Holland on the possession of the country, so that he uses the names New York and New- Amsterdam indiscriminately’. ‘Exactly who he was, wether he really existed, or if Melton was his real name remains an unsettled problem’ (Howgego p.701). The first part is dealing with Egypt. A very detailed description is given in the second part of New Netherland, based on Adriaen van der Donck and Arnoldus Montanus, Virginia, Florida, Cuba, Haiti, Panama and Jamaica; also relating to the buccaneers in the West Indies. The third part is dealing with Persia and Turkey, the fourth with Asia and South Africa. Van Broekhuizen showed a morbid interest in oriental tortures, which he described in detail and of which Jan Luyken presented some vivid illustrations. ‘Several of the plates are by the celebrated Jan Luiken and are among his best productions’ (Asher 16). - A very fine clean copy.
