Description: . 4to. Pp. (iv), 176, 178-304. Modern half calf, spine ruled in gilt and with a red title label. Occasionally some minor browning. Second edition, first published in 1667 in only 500 copies. A scarce Swedish collection of travels printed at the private press of Count Brahe in Wisingsborg by the German bookprinter Johan Kankel. They are the first proper travel accounts published in Sweden.Comprises: I. Kiöping's narrative of his voyage to the Cape of Good Hope, Arabia, Persia, continuing to the Far East. His story was partly imaginative but became enormously popular at the time. Kiöping was employed as a bosun on a Dutch ship which in 1648 took him to Guinea and later to the Cape of Good Hope. He writes about his stay in Persia where he was in the service of the Shah and then about his journey on horseback to Bagdad. In 1652 he continued by ship to Ceylon and then to Java and Formosa (where Fredrik Coyet was governor). See Lasse Berg, När Sverige upptäckte Afrika, Stockholm 1997, pp. 11-15. II. Olof Eriksson WillmanÕs account of a voyage on a Dutch East Indiaman to the East Indies and and Japan between 1648-53. He visited Java which at the time was a Dutch colony. III. WillmanÕs interesting and accurate account of Japan (with separate title page dated 1673) which he visited in August 1651 for some months. He was able to participate in a Dutch embassy to Edo (Tokyo) which was reached in January 1652. His account of Tokaido, the ÒEast Sea RouteÓ, is one of the earliest known in European literature. Also contains a translation of François CaronÕs account of Japan. See Hjärne, Två svenska Japanfarare, pp. 17-83. IV. An account of a journey from Moscow to China.
