      Strassburg: Georgen Ulricher von Andla, 1534. Strassburg: Georgen Ulricher von Andla, 1534.. [6],252 leaves printed in double columns. Small folio. Later half vellum and marbled boards, gilt leather label. Boards rubbed. Title-leaf and final text leaf expertly repaired. Quite clean internally. A handsome copy. The first German language translation of this early and large collection of important voyages, many of which relate to America. Especially interesting among these are the first three voyages of Columbus, the voyages of Pinzon, and of Vespucci. It also includes a full translation of Peter Martyr's DECADES..., of which only a portion appeared in the 1532 edition, and Martyr's DE LEGATIONE BABYLONICA. There are also accounts of the voyages and travels of Marco Polo, Cabral, Cada Mosto, and others. Translated from the Latin and expanded by Michael Herr from the 1532 Basel printing called NOVIS ORBIS..., this edition is often attributed to Simon Grynaeus, who wrote the preface to the 1532 edition, though this volume's preface is also by Herr.
