Hakluytus Posthumus; Volume 14

By Samuel Purchas

Hakluytus Posthumus or Purchas His Pilgrimes, originally published in 1625, is a vast collection of travel stories and geographical information compiled by Samuel Purchas. This volume, "Volume 14," continues Purchas's ambitious project to document English voyages and explorations around the world. Drawing upon the manuscripts and notes of Richard Hakluyt, Purchas expands upon Hakluyt's earlier work, preserving accounts of early encounters with foreign lands and peoples.

These narratives offer invaluable insights into the mindset of early explorers, their interactions with diverse cultures, and their perceptions of the world beyond Europe. Featuring detailed descriptions of maritime routes, trade, and colonial ventures, "Hakluytus Posthumus" remains an essential resource for understanding the age of exploration and the expansion of English influence across the globe.
