- Title and imprint from part 1.
The set is commonly known by the title Great voyages (or Grands voyages).
Parts 1-6 were published by Theodore de Bry (1528-1598). After his death, the series was continued by his widow and two sons, Johann Theodor de Bry and Johann Israel de Bry, who together published parts 7-9. After Johann Israel's death (1611), Johann Theodor was responsible for parts 10 and 11. The final parts (12-14) were published by Matthaeus Merian. Cf. Church.
The present German edition was published simultaneously with a Latin edition. See Church (v. 1, p. 319) for a "Table exhibiting the several editions and issues of the Great voyages of de Bry," including both the Latin and the German editions. Part 1 was also issued in French and English editions.
