Description
1757 History of Paraguay 1 ed Charlevoix NEGRO SLAVERY Jesuit Voyages MAPS 6v Pierre Charlevoix was an 18 th -century French Jesuit writer known for his informational surveys of Jesuit missionary voyages around the world. He published reports on voyages in Paraguay, Brazil and other South American countries, as well as voyages in Asia even though he himself never visited these locations. His ‘ History of Paraguay ’ is a valuable history of the Jesuit missionary voyages to South America and includes extensive descriptions on Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and parts of Argentina with information about local tribes. Perhaps Cox’s description of the work is the most telling of its value: “The most complete and satisfactory work on Paraguay, and the only one in which the vast system of the Jesuits is fully developed, the position of the author affording him peculiar opportunities for its examination.” There were, however, some quite controversial inclusions in this book as well. According to Christophe, “The belief in the predestination of blacks to slavery was so prevalent in the eighteenth century in France that the Jesuit missionary, Charlevoix, declared in his ‘ Histoire du Paraguay’ in 1756 that ‘ slavery was the means used by God for the salvation of the Negro’ .” This impressive and highly valuable six-volume set is notable not just for its controversial commentary on slavery, but also for numerous folding maps of South America and its countries.

Neben der ausführlichen Artikelbeschreibung mit vielen Bildern (welche dem realen Zustand des Buches entsprachen) verlief die Kommunikation sehr informativ mit kurzen Reaktionszeiten.

Amazing, quick postage, great value, well packaged. Great condition, as described in listing. Wife who is learning Latin is extremely happy. Never thought we would have something so old, a full hundred years older than my next oldest book. 5 star great seller
