Lot 3 | Histoire de la Nouvelle-France
Marc Lescarbot, 1609
LESCARBOT, Marc (1570-1642). Histoire de la Nouvelle France: contenant les navigations, découvertes, & habitations faites par les François és Indes Occidentales & Nouvelle-France [and:] Les muses de la Nouvelle France. Paris: Jean Millot, 1609.
First edition of the cornerstone work on the earliest French settlements in the Americas and a classic of early European-American literature. It is divided into three books: the first gives an account of the voyages of Verrazano, Laudonnière, Gourgues, and Villegagnon; the second contains the voyages of Cartier, Roberval, De Monts, Poutrincourt, and the first voyages of Champlain; and the third contains a description of the manners and customs of the native tribes. The second work in this volume, from the same author and which seems to have been issued with it, comprises a collection of poems and a masque celebrating events in New France. The masque, "Le Theatre de Neptune en la Nouvelle France," was originally performed at Port Royal on 14 November 1606 and is the first secular dramatic performance in European North America. In it, Neptune with a court of Tritons and Native people greet travelers to New France with verses in French, Gasgon, and Mi'kmaq.
The author of this book, Marc Lescarbot, was a French poet-lawyer-adventurer who in 1606 accompanied Pierre Dugua de Mons on an expedition to Acadia, a multi-cultural French colony founded in Mi'kmaq territory in 1604. There, he met the Mi'kmaq and Melecite people, studying their languages and music. He admired their culture, although expressed sadness that they were ignorant of the essentially French pleasures of wine and love. Unfortunately in 1607, de Mons's fur monopoly was revoked by the king, resulting in the recall of the colonists back to France; the ensuing legal battle became a landmark case. In addition to poetry about his experiences, Lescarbot wrote this history of New France which incorporates not only his own accounts of Acadia but those of other explorers in the region. The large map is the first detailed devoted map of Canada and present in Burden's first state, as is the map of Port Royal (which is also the first map of what is now Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia). Alden & Landis 609⁄66-67; Burden 157-158; Church 339-340; Harrisse, Nouvelle France 16; Sabin 40169, 40174; The World Encompassed 210.

Leaves 7-10 cancelled as usual. 3 engraved folding maps by Jan Swelinck after Lescarbot (some browning). Early vellum (recased and repaired). Provenance: pencil annotations and underlining, mostly in first half.
