Estimate value
$ 8 000 – 12 000
First edition of the 37th Jesuit Relation. This entry describes the uneasy peace between the Iroquois and French following the arrival of French troop reinforcements. It includes a letter from the first Bishop of New France, Francois de Petrée, containing a brief account of the death of Mother Catherine de St. Augustin and a note on the work of the Hospital nuns and of the Ursuline nuns in New France. This is the last Relation with the stork device on the title, and the first to be printed by Sebastien Mabre-Cramoisy alone; his father Sebastian had died that January. A letter from the Mother Superior has been found bound with this work, but is known in four copies only and not present here. Church 604; Howes J-106 ("b"); McCoy 124.
Octavo (174 x 114mm). Woodcut printer's device. Contemporary vellum, faded ink title on spine.
