Lot 222 | Relation de ce qui s'est passé en La Novvelle France en l'année 1638
Valeur estimée
$ 6 000 – 9 000
First edition of the Seventh Relation. Cramoisy was brought back as the printer after the debacle of Boullenger; the prominent typo in the name of the Superior General on the final leaf may be a sly jab at his predecessor. The second part is a report by Le Mercier, who comments on the progress of the missions in Huron country. "This Relation is largely concerned with the increasing persecution of the Jesuits by the Indians, the establishment of a new residence near Three Rivers ... and the steadfastness of the Jesuits in the face of their troubles. Both Le Jeune's Relation and Le Mercier's end with encouraging notes of conversions of and improved relations with the Indians" (Bell). Bell 13; Church 439; McCoy 28.
Two parts in one, octavo (167 x 109mm). Woodcut printer's device on title (blank top margin of title renewed, a little worming in lower margin at front, some dampstaining worse at end). Contemporary vellum, title in ink on spine.
