[RENNEFORT, Urbain Souchu de] [c1630-1689].
Histoire Des Indes Orientales.
Paris: Arnoul Seneuze and Daniel Hortemels, 1688..
small 4to. pp. 8 p.l., 402, [2]privilege. 3 engraved headpieces. woodcut title vignette, ornaments & initials. modern vellum bds. (2 headpieces shaved, repaired tear in Hh2 - no loss). First Collected Edition. Rennefort was secretary of the Compagnie Française de L'Orient. In 1665 he was charged with provisioning and inspecting the colony of Fort-Dauphin, governed since 1663 by Chamargon. Rennefort arrived to find the colony in desolation and misery and vainly attempted to re-establish order and peace with the natives. His account was originally published in 1668 under the title Relation du Premier Voyage de la Compagnie des Indes Orientales en L'Île des Madagascar ou Dauphine. It has here been greatly expanded to include an account of a subsequent French voyage to Madagascar undertaken by Mondevergue, Governor-General and Admiral of 'La France Orientale', with a description of the latter's visit to Brazil (Pernambuco and Olinda), and an account of a further voyage by de Faye from Madagascar to Ceylon, Goa, Calcutta and Surat. Together the accounts provide an important history of the first efforts of the French to establish themselves in Madagascar as a base for their East India operations, and contain interesting details regarding the religion, manners and customs of the native inhabitants of the country and the establishment and history of the Compagnie Française de L'Orient.
