Copper Engraving
of Japan by (Kaempfer, Engelbert, 1651-1716) ;
(Scheuchzer, John Gaspar/ Scheuchzer, Johann Caspar,
1702-1729). Published by Gravenhage : P. Gosse en J.
Neaulme; Amsterdam: B. Lakeman. Engelbert Kaempfer,
German physician and naturalist, known for his tour of
Persia, Indonesia, and Japan between 1683 and 1693,
German physician and traveller, Engelbert Kaempfer
(1651-1716) spent ten years, 1683-1693, traveling
through Persia and Southeast Asia, including two+ years
in Japan, 1690-92. Residing in Nagasaki where he arrived
in September, 1690 and departed in November, 1692. He
made two three-month trips to Edo (Tokyo) and had
audiences with Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. His
illustrated accounts of his travels and observations are
the most detailed Western descriptions of 17th century
Japan, and his trips within Japan were the basis of the
most accurate Western maps of the interior for the next
150 years. In 1692, Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716)
physician with the Dutch East India Company, smuggled
out of Japan the first systematic collection of Japanese
materials to be seen in Europe. Kaempfer's collection
became the basis of the West's earliest scientific
account of the closed island empire. Sir Hans Sloane, a
founder of the British Museum, purchased Kaempfer’s
library and papers from his nephew between 1723-5. He
then arranged for Kaempfer's German manuscript to be
published in English. This was undertaken at Sloane's
expense by his librarian, a Swiss doctor called Johann
Caspar Scheuchzer (1702-29).The publication of the
History of Japan in 1727 immortalised Kaempfer as 'the
first interpreter of Japan'. It contains descriptions of
acupuncture, the use of opium and cannabis and a
systematic description of tea, as well as extensive
botanical observations. It was praised by Linnaeus, who
adopted Kaempfer's nomenclature. Luis Borges was
fascinated by Kaempfer’s work and frequently referred to
it in his fiction. Kaempfer wrote this monumental work
in his native language, German. It was first published
in English in a translation from the author's manuscript
in Sir Hans Sloane's collection (The History of Japan,
London, 1727, 2 volumes). Some copies of the 1727
publication contained an 1728 appendix entitled "Being
Part of an Authentick Journal of a Voyage to Japan, made
by the English in the year 1673?". This appendix deals
with an abortive attempt by the British to revive trade
with Japan. Mega rare £225 inc delivery folds as issued
