[THIRTY-SIXTH JESUIT RELATION] – LE MERCIER, François (1604-1690). Relation de ce qui s'est passé de plus remarquable aux missions des peres de la Compagnie de Iésus en La Nouvelle France, les années mil six cens soixante six, & mil six cens soixante sept. Paris: Sebastien Cramoisy & Sebastien Mabre-Cramoisy, 1668.

First edition of the 36th Jesuit Relation.

Church 602; Howes J-106 ("b"); McCoy 120.

Octavo (169 x 105mm). Woodcut vase ornament on title (occasional light dustsoiling). Contemporary vellum, title in ink on spine and front cover. Provenance: partially obliterated inscription of "Convent de la Nativité de Jésus" – "Du monastere de la congregation ???" (inscription on flyleaf).
