Original edition of the work containing the first real treatise on modern oceanography by Botéro (1533-1617). Besides this treatise on the ocean, the work contains the well-known treatises on political-philosophical subjects, in which the fundamentals of religion and politics and the well-being of the state. These original treatises are full with sensible and profound judgements.
