Les voyages aventureux du Capitaine Martin de Hoyarsabal, habitant du Cubiburu, contenant les règles et enseignments nécessaires à la bonne et seure navigation ("The Adventurous Voyages of Captain Martin de Hoyarsabal, inhabitant of Ciboure, containing the rules and information necessary for good and sure navigation") is a Middle French 'rutter' (from French: routier) by Martin de Hoyarçabal,[1] from the French Basque Country.
It was first published in French in 1547, apparently printed in Bordeaux by Jean Chouin.
[3] The only known copy of the 1547 edition was acquired by the French Bibliothèque nationale in c1900.
[4] 11 photostats of the original in the Bibliothèque nationale were printed by the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston in 1930, most of which are now in libraries in the USA.
[5] According to Michael Barkham it seems certain that the typographic address of the 1547 edition is false, since there was no printer/publisher of the name of Chouin in Bordeaux: rather, the book was printed and published in the Protestant stronghold of La Rochelle by the Protestant printer-publisher and propagandist Jean Portau.
