78/2510 [Africa]. Alberti, J.C.L. De Kaffers aan de Zuidkust van Afrika, Natuur en Geschiedkundig beschreven. Amst., E. Maaskamp, 1810, 1st ed., (6),XII,(4),260,(2)p., engr. title-p., fold. handcol. engr. plan, 2 handcol. plates by L. PORTMAN after W.B.E. PARAVICINI DI CAPELLI and J. SMIES, sl. later boards.

- Spine-ends and upper joint sl. worn/ rubbed. Otherwise a very fine copy.

= The very rare first edition. Landwehr, Dutch Books w. Col. Plates 217; Tiele 31 and Cat. NHSM p.209 (both listing the first Dutch ed. Amst., 1810); Gay 3153; Mendelssohn p.18; Henze I, p.32; Kainbacher I, p.10 (German ed. Gotha, 1815). "He gives a full account of the natives, including chapters on the situation and climate of kaffraria, and on the education, language, occupations, and ailments of the various tribes, together with remarks on their form of government, manner of conducting their warfare, relations with the Cape Colony, and many other interesting matters." (Mendelssohn). The author was a German officer from Waldeck who served in the Dutch army and was sent to Cape of Good Hope in 1802 and shortly afterwards to Fort Frederik in the Bay of Algoa. He stayed there until 1806, during which time he was able to observe the life and culture of the Bantu speaking people who were at the time known as Kaffers. He wrote his book in his native tongue, but had it translated for the first edition in Dutch by J. Konynenburg (the first German edition was published in Gotha in 1815). Interestingly, Alberti distances himself from the observations of Barrow(in his An account of travels into the interior of southern Africa) and others concerning the customs and culture of the native people that he describes in much more favourable terms than Barrow and with more esteem.

Chief source for the knowledge of Dutch slave-trade during the latter half of the 17th century and important for the history of the commercial rivalry with the English, Danes and Brandeburgers.

= The second revised and best edition (first 1668). Tiele 298; Gay 219; Mendelssohn II, p.119. The first large general description of the African continent. The work is based on the early accounts of the Portuguese and Spanish explorers, the English works by Purchass and Jarrick, the journals and descriptions of Dutch navigators like Van Noort, Van Neck, Linschoten, Spilbergen, but especially on unpublished reports and eye-witness accounts of Dutch merchants, visitors and soldiers. Very detailed on the West Coast, where the Dutch ivory-, gold- and slave-trade flourished and on Angola (Luanda was captured by a WIC fleet in 1647). On the settlement on the Cape only a cursory note is found, while the surrounding tribes are described in remarkable detail. The second part, devoted to the African islands, from Malta to Madagascar, includes an ample account of the French colonization of the latter. The work is famous for its splendid detailed maps and plates, i.a. engraved after drawings by Reinier Noomsz (Zeeman).

Verwithagen, 1573, 75,(1) lvs., woodcut globe on title-p., 1 (facsimile) fold. worldmap, 5 volvelle plates incl. one plate w. a plumb line (as almost always without the lead plumb and the movable disc) (on verso of f.XIII), num. ills., contemp. limp vellum w. (later?) ties, sm. 4to.

- The woodcut volvelle with the plumb line (verso f.XIII) lacks the lead weight (as practically always) and one movable disc; volvelle on verso f.XI lacks movable disc; worldmap apparently counterfeit (see note below); contemp. owner's entry on title-p. and first free endpaper. Spine-ends (sl.) dam.

= Pettegree/ Walsby 242; Van Ortroy, Bio-bibliographie (...) Gemma Frisius no.27; cf. Bibl. Belgica A 36 (this ed. not in Bibl. Belgica, but listed in note in Vol.1 on p.93); Shirley no.82 and no.96 refer to a deceptive counterfeit of the worldmap (the "Charta Cosmographia") made after the second woodblock of the Apian worldmap (which was used in the editions published in 1553). None of the Flemish editions listed in the Bibliotheca Belgica mention the plate with the plumb line on verso of f. XI (which is also a volvelle plate as is shown by the copy of the 1573 ed. held in University LIbrary in Ghent). One of the most important and popular 16th cent. works on cosmography, this treatise deals i.a. with triangulation, the climatic zones in which the earth may be divided, and with methods of determining latitude and longitude.
