Resumo

Added, engr. t. p.: Historia Antipodum oder Newe Welt. Originally published: Frankfurt, 1631. Abridgement of pts. 1-12 of Johann Theodor de Bry's German edition of the "Great voyages" as well as a reissue of pt. 14 of that work. There is another issue with p. [3-6], 1st count, from a different setting of type. That issue has "Flecken vnd Wohnplätzen" in title, and "vnerhörter" (instead of "unerhörter") in line 17 of title. Authorship has been erroneously ascribed to Johann Philipp Abelin (cf. Der königlich schwedische in Teutschland geführte Krieg / F. Gallati. Zurich, 1902). "Jean-Philippe Abelin published this work under the assumed name of Jean-Louis Gottfriedt. It contains a resumé of the histories of Acosta, Oviedo, Peter Martyr, Herrera, Laet &c. An account of 33 voyages to America, from Columbus to Spilbergen and Schouten; notices of the expeditions of Lemaire and Peter Heyn, the conquests of Brazil by the Dutch, and descriptions of Greenland and Spitzbergen." Book.
