From H's reference at p. 12 it appears that this Part 5 was published before Part 4. He says he had the M.S. and would print it at the first opportunity. In his preface he apologises for the many extraordinary things in the work, and refers to others equally strange vouched for by persons living and of good authority-especially a man who neither ate nor drank for 7 years, &c.

Part 5. 2d edn. 1601. The title also begins without any indication of the series-Kurtze Wunderbare Beschreibung | Dess Goldreichen Konig | &c., in 11 lines-the contents of which vary from those of 1st edn. Hulsius' name does not appear above the Vignette, which is the same described above. Imprint in 2 lines Noribergæ, Impensis Levini Hvlsii | (a black line below) M.DCI.

Verso blank. The crack in the vignette is larger. Map north half of S. America with date 1599. Preface also without Hulsius' name 3 pages Aij and recto of A. Text verso of A3 page 1 to page 17 verso of Ciij. Tabel as before 1 p. recto of Cij, with Finis and Colophon as in 1st Ed.-the whole part, however, is reprinted-6 plates as above described. In the Tabel, the columns of distances are separated by lines.

Part 5. 2d Edn. 1601. Another copy with variations.

Title, preface, and text to page 11 exactly alike, but the sig. C has been reprinted. Note these variations on each leaf. Page 13 has one more marginal note and 3 more lines of text. Page 14 in last marginal note has page 86 (1st issue 68). It has ao sig. (1st issue Ciij). The contents of pages differ, of course, to the end-so that page 17 has only 7 lines (1st issue 13 lines). The Tabel has probably been also reprinted-tho' there is no apparent variation. The contents of lines are generally the same in both issues-(Var. in 3 instances on p. 14). Some words are differently spelt.-Map and 6 plates as described

above.

Part 5. 3d Ed. 1603, entirely reprinted. The crack in the copper of the vignette is longer, and there appears to have been an attempt to mend it. The Title has an indication of the series it begins Die Funffte | Kurtze Wunderbare Beschreibung, &c., in 12 lines. Hulsius' name omitted above the vignette which is very badly cracked and almost in 2 pieces.

Preface to Reader 3 pages Aij & recto of Aiij. Text begins on verso page 1, and ends on p. 17, verso of Ciij with an irregular woodcut.

Part 5. 4th Ed. 1612, differs again from all others. This edition also has an indication of the series-title, Die Funffte | Kurtze Wunderbare Beschreibung | &c., in 11 lines. Hulsius' name omitted above vignette which is cracked from top to bottom. Imprint below in 3 lines Getruckt zu Franckfurt am Mayn, bey Erasmo Kempffern | In verlegung Levini Hulsij Wittibe | (then a short black line) Im Iahr 1612 | Verso blank.

There are variations on every page in woodcuts, contents of lines, use of capitals or marginal notes, but the most marked difference is that in the 5th Edn. the chapters are headed CAPUT, and the same where the word occurs as a catchword (sometimes the catchword is CA in the 5th, where in the 4th it is the whole word, v. page 9). In the 4th Edn. CAPVT -more particularly this last heading occurs on pages 1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 16.-In 5th pages 7, 9, 15. 4th Ed. p. 12 marg. note in 3 lines, p. 14, 3d marg. note in 2 lines.

P. 33 is 34, 35 omitted and 43 double. The 2 editions are very different for while the pages generally contain the same matter-the contents of lines and position of the signatures vary very much. 6 maps & 9 Plates as before. The 6th map, the North half of S. America is often wanting. Mr. Brown's copy,

and those of others have it. It is therefore added to this copy which was originally without it. Part 6. 3d Edn. 1626. Title in 14 lines—like 2d Ed. Sechster (with r) | in 1st line-the 4th line ends ver but in 3d vnnd (with 2 n's) & other variations-Levinum Hulsium above the vignette which is the same.

A to Page 3 of text has certainly been reprinted. If the rest of the Part has been reprinted, it is so exact a copy that no differences can be detected.

9 plates, cyphers changed and only 5 maps, viz. Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. North part of S. America 1599 placed at the beginning instead of No. 1 the North part of Africa. It is wanting in several copies examined-but it probably ought to be here, and perhaps No. 6 so called 1599 S. America might be omitted.

Dedn. 3 pages unnumbered Aij and recto of Aiij. Title 4 lines above coat of arms, and 4 lines of text below-catchword nuirt-in the 4th line Schiffahrten with one h.

Very large fine copy.

The Text of this Voyage was issued by the De Bry Brothers, with different title and preliminary matter (4ff. sig. )). Preface dated 1 April, 1603, a month before Hulsius-printed also by Richtern and illustrated with De Bry's engravings from his folio, Part VI., India Orientalis-the Latin descriptions cut off and the plates turned round to suit the 4to size. It is doubtful whether this is to be considered a proof of the partnership or opposition of the two printing houses. Hulsius removed from Nuremberg to Frankfort early in 1603. He died early in 1606. De Bry's sons printed four other small 4tos.

A reprint, page for page, of 1st Edition: yet tho' the contents of pages be the same, the position of the signatures, the marg. notes, and contents of the lines and paragraphs prove this to be a reprint. The marg. notes particularly. The type is newer and more distinct. The 1. L. on p. 228 begins fenbeyn (the 1st ed.

Hulsius' preface to reader 3 pages numbered 3-5. He gives an abstract of the contents of 8 parts of his collection and in that of the 8th states that he would have treated this voyage more largely, but full accounts had not arrived. Should they come to hand, he would publish a 9th part.

Text begins at page 6 verso of A3 and ends on p. 58 with Ende and a woodcut. Sig. A, beginning with title to H in 4s except H in 25, the leaf H being blank-running title on each page of text Die Achte Schiffahrt.

In the title above the vignette Hulsius is called Weyland (the late) verso blank.

Preface pages 3-5 without H.'s name; and all most entirely changed. It gives an account of 5 different narratives contained in this part-that a part of the last voyage of Johan Herman von Bry had been published by the De Brys, and might be had from them (v. De Bry's small 4to, P. 8, 1605), but that the Reader might like to have this also. In a previous Par. (p. 4) it is stated that Hulsius had not lived long enough to receive the 3d voyage, that of Jacob Van Neck.-Text begins on p. 6 verso of aiij and ends on p. 56 with the word Ende the verso of giij. The whole account seems to have been revised-there are only 17 chapters (18 in the 1st edition). Asher describes this as the 1st Ed. dating it in 1606 and speaks of a second edition in 1608.

1 Map and 6 plates corresponding with those in the 1st Edn. They are differently placed. Many portions of the text are rewritten, or additions made from further accounts. The map has the additions at North and East, v. Parts 2 & 6.

right hand page vnd Seeländer in Ost Indien. On p. 56 Achte Schiffahrt. Some copies have only 5 plates, but this has 6, and the folding plates. The places and numbers are changed: viz. 1. St. Helena at p. 8 (still marked 68 or perhaps the 6 blotted) 2 Cerni at p. 15, and so marked. Fig. III. at p. 23 and so marked. Fig. IV. at p. 28 so marked. Fig. V. at page 35. Fig. VI. at p. 38, the position of this last is uncertain. After this 3d Ed. of Part 8 no other part described subsequently has more than 2 editions.
