Cioranescu 32932; Chadenat 838. Graesse III, 61. Hoefer, NBG XX, 332. - Erweiterte Ausgabe des erstmals 1688 ersch, Werkes. G. ging um 1682 als Missionar nach Siam und Indonesien, nach s. Rückkehr publizierte er eine "Histoire de Siam" und das vorl. Werk, die beide wegen ihrer Zuverlässigkeit von Hoefer gelobt werden. Macassar war zu G.'s Zeit ein Königreich mit gleichnamiger Hauptstadt auf der Insel Celebes. - Rare second edition of this work on the kingdom of Macassar, now known as the island Sulawesi (Celebes) in the Indonesian archipelago, by the French missionary Nicolas Gervaise (1662-1729). The work is one of the first books on Sulawesi, and contains interesting documents of the kingdom of Macassar during the second half of the seventeenth century. When he was only twenty years old, Gervaise went as a missionary to the kingdom of Siam (now Thailand) and stayed there for four years, investigating the religion, customs, literature and history of its inhabitants. After his return to France, he published his findings in his Histoire naturelle et politique du royaume de Siam, and in the present work, both appearing in 1688. In 1724 he went to Rome, where he was consecrated bishop of Horren, but only a few years later he went, together with some other clergymen, to Central America, to do missionary work again. He settled down near the Orinoco river and was assasinated by inhabitants of Spanish Guinea in 1729. - Vereinzelt stockfleckig. St.a.T.verso. - Selten.
