Together with a description of the kingdom of Siam. "Prima edizione" di estrema rarità.Cfr. Cordier Japonica, pp. 414-15 - Brunet,III,638: cet ouvrage est très estimé, et les exemplaires n'en sont pas communs - Nissen BBI, p. 94 - Wellcome,III, 376. Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716), naturalista, medico e grande viaggiatore tedesco trascorse 10 anni (1683-1693) in Asia sud Orientale. Nel 1690 fu nominato medico della Compagnia olandese delle Indie con sede a Nagasaki, dove rimase per due anni, 1690-92. Le sue escursioni all'interno posero le basi per la realizzazione delle più accurate carte geografiche del paese. Il resoconto illustrato dei suoi viaggi e delle sue osservazioni sono considerati il primo erudito studio sul Giappone del XVII secolo, fatto da un occidentale, uno studio che grandemente influenzò la considerazione del Giappone da parte degli Europei per tutto il diciottesimo e diciannovesimo secolo e l'opera di Kaempfer è senza dubbio la fonte più importante per gli storici sul periodo Tokugawa.<br>Con la pubblicazione della sua History of Japan nel 1727, Kaempfer fu immortalato quale primo interprete del Giappone. La sua opera è considerata una enciclopedica e vastamente illustrata descrizione del paese, di Nagasaki, di due ambasciate a Edo e delle città visitate; vi figurano anche rapporti sull'agopuntura, sul te, la carta giapponese, sull'uso dell'oppio e della cannabis; di grande valore le sue osservazioni di botanica (molto apprezzate da Linneo che adottò la nomenclatura di Kaempfer). Kaempfer scrisse il suo monumentale lavoro in tedesco, sua lingua originale, ma fu pubblicato per la prima volta in inglese, in una traduzione del manoscritto autografo che era stato acquistato da Sir Hans Sloane (uno dei fondatori del British Museum).Solo 1 carta con strappo al marg. infer., altrimenti fresco e bell'esemplare.‎
