First edition of the 18th Relation, containing Ragueneau's report on the destruction of the Huron mission. In 1649, an Iroquois army attacked and destroyed the villages of St Ignace and St Louis, also executing two Jesuit fathers, Jean de Brébeuf and Gabriel Lalemant. This was a particularly popular Relation, going into several editions and translations—only one of two to be translated into Latin and the only one translated into Dutch. Bell 36 (R9); Church 505; Harisse 90; McCoy 71; Sabin 67491.
Octavo (170 x 110mm). Vignette on title (a little largely marginal worming, toned). Contemporary limp vellum, title in ink on spine (a little worn). Provenance: early readers marks – gift inscription to Jesuit College from Bishop Pingré.
