This 1626 publication details the voyages of Samuel Braun, a barber-surgeon from Basel, who traveled extensively to various regions, including Congo, Angola, Guinea, and the Gold Coast. The book recounts Braun's experiences as he served on Dutch vessels between 1611 and 1613, providing detailed descriptions of the geography, cultures, and trade practices of the areas he visited. The account also covers his journey to other parts of the world, including Alexandria in Syria, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and various islands like the Canaries and Madeira.
According to the Lenox Catalogue, this is the only Hulsius edition of Samuel Braun's voyages. It was published in Frankfurt by Hermann Pattschen.
The title page features an engraved vignette of a vessel and traders with grotesque supporters, which was reused from earlier parts of the series.
Completeness
As is frequently the case with the Hulsius voyages, there is disagreement about how many plates should be present; Asher calls for 7; the Grenville copy had 5; and the Lenox Catalogue says there should be 6; this example has 3.
