Histoire du Canada et voyages que les frères mineurs recollets

Gabriel Sagard-Theodat, 1636

SAGARD-THÉODAT, Gabriel (d. c.1650). Histoire du Canada et voyages que les frères mineurs recollets y ont facts pour la conversion des infidelles. Paris: Claude Sonnius, 1636.



First edition of Sagard's very rare second work. It is divided into three books, the first being wholly new and the others being greatly expanded from Sagard's first work recounting his own voyages. One of the most important additions, for example, is the first recording in print of the first visits by Europeans to present-day Michigan, being the travels of Etienne Brulé and a companion named Grenolle. “The travels and missionary labors of the Recollects among the Indians of Canada, for nine years before the arrival of Father Sagard, form the subject of Book I. The narrative of his Grand Voyage to the Country of the Hurons, which appeared three years before, is extended by additional particulars, from chapters xxii., in the edition of 1632, to xlvi. in Book II ... Book III. is a reproduction of Part II. of the Grand Voyage, with new matter increasing it from 85 to 135 pages. Book IV. contains the history of the Recollect missions to the end of 1629" (Field). Father Sagard published this work after Richelieu declined to reinstate the Recollects in France, giving preference to the Jesuits.



According to the auction records of RBH this is only the third copy to appear at auction in the past 40 years. This copy with 3 leaves [4 pp.] inserted after p. 312, being a Huron song in four voices, but without the blank leaf which sometimes follows. Of the eight copies listed by Church, only three have the music leaves present. Church 435; Harrisse New France 62, Michigan Rarities, no. 1; Pilling Iroquoian, p. 148; Sabin 74885 ("extremely rare").



Octavo (168 x 96mm). (Lower right corner of title and lower third of final index leaf restored with facsimile.) Old vellum, spine lettered in manuscript (some soiling). Provenance: partially effaced ownership inscription to title.
