DC. XXVIII. [1628].- [8], 1193, [14, 1 br.] p.; 22 cm.- E. First French edition of the famous book by Fernão Mendes Pinto (1510/14-1583), traveler and adventurer, born in Montemor-o-Velho, which was republished twice in Paris during the 17th century (in 1645 and 1663) . Fernão Mendes left for India in 1537, having stayed in the East for around 21 years. The “Peregrinação”, a fantastic account of his troubled adventures, was originally published on the initiative of Fr. Belchior Faria, 31 years after his death (Lisbon, 1614), based on the original manuscript bequeathed by the author to Casa Pia dos Penitentes. The first three pages correspond to the title pasge (composed in black and red) and the dedication of the edition to Cardinal Richelieu, signed by the translator Bernard Figuier (probably Bernardo Figueira), followed by the privilege (f. a4) and the “Defense apologetique de l'Histoire Orientale by Fernand Mendez Pinto” (f. e1 to e5); on the back of the last preliminary sheet an “Advertissement au lecteur”; the text unfolds from pages. 1 to 1193, set to a column in round characters, followed by “Table des chapitres...” on the last 14 pages (plus one blank). Slightly cropped copy, probably treated (washed), with slight browning and occasional light stains. Full sheepskin binding, non-contemporary, with double squared fillet on the covers and closed panels on the spine (rebuilt). Brunet, IV, col. 670. Palau, 163206. Cordier (Japonica), 37. Leite de Faria, 31-1. Biblioteca de D. Manuel II does not refer.
