Rouen, Chez François Vaultier le jeúne, 1678.. FIRST EDITION. 12°, contemporary calf (minor wear to corners), spine gilt with raised bands in six compartments (head of spine defective; some wear near foot), blank leather lettering piece in second compartment from head with very short title gilt, marbled endleaves, edges of covers milled. Woodcut vignette on title page. Typographical headpieces. Factotum initials. Woodcut tailpiece. Some light dampstains and toning. In good condition. Internally good to very good. 267, (1) pp. A-L12, M2. *** Apparently the FIRST EDITION of this collection of three fictional love-tales, novels with pirate themes, collected in one volume. The protagonists are buccaneers and filibusters. Titles are: "Histoire de Don Diego de Rivera,"Histoire de Mont-Val," and "Le destin de l'Homme, ou les Avantures de Don Bartelimi de la Cueba, Portugais." Published in the same year as Alexander Esquemeling's book on pirates of the West Indies. A 1676 edition cited by Sabin is surely a ghost. There is a Cologne edition published later in 1678. *** Alden & Landis 678/99. Sabin 56094; cf 47928. See Geoffroy Atkinson, The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature Before 1700, p. 24.

The tales here are drawn from Esquemeling and illustrate the endless appeal of piracy tales. Bound in after is an early edition (1676) of the novel, ALMANZAIDE..., first printed in 1674. Set in…
