Edition Notes
Virgules replaced by commas in title page transcription.
Constitutes the twenty sixth, and final, part of Sammlung von sechs und zwanzig Schiffahrten in verschiedene fremde Länder durch Levinus Hulsius und einige Andere, aus dem Holländischen ins Deutsche übersetzt und mit allerhand Anmerrkungen versehen, compiled by Levinus Hulsius, and printed in 26 parts in Nuremberg, Frankfurt am Main, Oppenheim, and Hanau from 1598 to 1663.
This work has been identified as the sole edition of part twenty six by Church.
This part contains an account of the Danish voyage made by Jens Munk to Hudson Strait to discover a Northwest Passage, in 1619-1620; followed by a description of Greenland, edited by Christof le Blon. Cf. Church.
Though generally ascribed to Jens Munk, this is actually a truncated translation of Isaac La Peyrère's Relation du Groenland, first printed Paris, 1647, with supplementary material edited by Christof le Blon. Cf. Alden.
