Cartografía y crónicas de la Antigua California
México, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Instituto de Investigaciones Históricas, Fundación de Investigaciones Sociales, 1989, in-4 rel. cartonnée (24 x 34), X-207 p., présentation de Jorge Carpizo Macgregor et Jorge Kanahuati, 105 figures, XLV planches en coul., jaquette avec trace d'usure en bordure, bon état.
Como parte de los esfuerzos que se han realizado para conocer quiénes exploraron la Antigua California, el autor de esta obra ofrece, junto con la rica cartografía derivada de la empresa exploradora, testimonios de los relatos, de los diarios, de las rutas, de los informes y de las crónicas producidas por capitanes, pilotos, religiosos, corsarios y otras gentes que por innumerables y diversos intereses se internaron en ese territorio. Incluye una valoración de algunas obras elaboradas por investigadores de prestigio académico acerca de este tema. Es éste un trabajo concebido como “una introducción razonada a las principales fuentes escritas y cartográficas acerca de las exploraciones en torno y en el interior de la Antigua California”. En cuanto al ámbito temporal en el que se circunscribe esta obra es, básicamente, el periodo que va del siglo XVI al XVIII, sin olvidar por ello alguna información derivada de la llamada “cartografía precalifórnica”, en la cual se sitúa Cipango (Japón) en el sitio que corresponde a California. As part of the efforts that have been carried out to know who explored Old California, the author of this work offers, together with rich cartography derived from the enterprise of the explorers, the testimonies of the narratives, diaries, routes, reports and chronicles produced by captains, guides, the clergy, pirates, and other people who for innumerable and diverse interests entered into this territory. It includes an appraisal of some works produced by prestigious academic researchers on the issue. This is the work conceived of as “a reasoned introduction to the main written and cartographic sources concerning the explorations around the area and in the interior of Old California”. Regarding the temporary ambit in which it is circumscribed, this work basically encompasses the period ranging from the 16th to the 18th Century, in addition to certain information derived from so-called “pre-Californian cartography”, in which Cipango (Japan, also known as Nippon) is the site that corresponded to California.

Édition originale, très rare, de cette relation de voyage due à Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly (1790-1849) traduite en italien par Paolo Emilio Botta. Cette très importante édition contient des observations inédites et de grande importance ainsi qu'un vocabulaire italien-hawaïen très complet (pp. 360-365). Né à Saint-Malo, Duhaut-Cilly fait carrière en tant que négociant français. Après des escales aux Canaries, aux îles du cap vert et sur la côte brésilienne, il remonte les côtes du Pacifique et arrive à Yerba Buena en 1827. Au cours des deux années suivantes, il visite la plupart des missions, presidios et pueblos de l'Alta California. A lépoque, aucun autre voyageur n'avait visité autant d'établissements californiens, et son récit est le meilleur compte rendu contemporain de la région. Exemplaire bien conservé dans sa reliure dépoque de cet ouvrage très important pour l'histoire de la Californie et de Hawaii, complet des 4 planches requises avec des vues d'Anaroura, de Monterey, de San Louis-Rey, et de Ross. 1 vol. 8vo in two parts (205 x 132 mm) with : Volume I. 1 frontispiece; XVI (false title, title, foreword); 296 pp. (including table); Volume II. 392 pp. (including false title, title and table); 3 plates (foxing). Contemporary half shagreened basane, boards covered with beige marbled paper, smooth spine decorated and titled. Very rare first edition of this travel report by Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly (1790-1849), translated into Italian by Paolo Emilio Botta. This very important edition contains previously unpublished observations of great importance, as well as a comprehensive Italian-Hawaiian vocabulary (pp. 360-365). Born in Saint-Malo, Duhaut-Cilly made his career as a French merchant. After stopovers in the Canary Islands, the Cape Verde Islands and the Brazilian coast, he headed up the Pacific coast, arriving in Yerba Buena in 1827. Over the next two years, he visited most of the missions, presidios and pueblos of Alta California. At the time, no other traveler had visited so many Californian settlements, and his account is the best contemporary account of the region. A well-preserved copy in its original binding of this very important work on the history of California and Hawaii, complete with the 4 required plates with views of Anaroura, Monterey, San Louis-Rey, and Ross.
