Sigmund Feyerabend was a prominent bookseller of his day in Frankfort, and was born about 1527 or 1528. He was an engraver himself, and was associated with De Bry in the publications of his _Voyages_.] He resolved to include both the Old and New World; and he finally produced his volumes simultaneously in Latin and German. As he gave a larger size to the American parts than to the others, the commonly used title, referring to this difference, was soon established as _Grands et petits voyages_.[199] Theodore De Bry himself died in March, 1598; but the work was carried forward by his widow, by his sons John Theodore and John Israel, and by his sons-in-law Matthew Merian and William Fitzer. The task was not finished till 1634, when twenty-five parts had been printed in the Latin, of which thirteen pertain to America; but the German has one more part in the American series. His first part—which was Hariot’s _Virginia_—was printed not only in Latin and German, but also in the original English[200] and in French; but there seeming to be no adequate demand in these languages, the subsequent issues were confined to Latin and German. There was a gap in the dates of publication between 1600 (when the ninth part is called “postrema pars”) and 1619-1620, when the tenth and eleventh parts appeared at Oppenheim, and a twelfth at Frankfort in 1624. A thirteenth and fourteenth part appeared in German in 1628 and 1630; and these, translated together into Latin, completed the Latin series in 1634. Without attempting any bibliographical description,[201] the succession and editions of the American parts will be briefly enumerated:— =I.= _Hariot’s Virginia._ In Latin, English, German, and French, in 1590; four or more impressions of the Latin the same year. Other editions of the German in 1600 and 1620. =II=. _Le Moyne’s Florida._ In Latin, 1591 and 1609; in German, 1591, 1603. =III.= _Von Staden’s Brazil._ In Latin, 1592, 1605, 1630; in German, 1593 (twice). =IV.= _Benzoni’s New World._ In Latin, 1594 (twice), 1644; in German, 1594, 1613. =V.= _Continuation of Benzoni._ In Latin, 1595 (twice); in German, two editions without date, probably 1595 and 1613. =VI.= _Continuation of Benzoni (Peru)._ In Latin, 1596, 1597, 1617; in German, 1597, 1619. =VII.= _Schmidel’s Brazil._ In Latin, 1599, 1625; in German, 1597, 1600, 1617. =VIII.= _Drake, Candish, and Ralegh._ In Latin, 1599 (twice), 1625; in German, 1599, 1624. =IX.= _Acosta_, etc. In Latin, 1602, 1633; in German, probably 1601; “additamentum,” 1602; and again entire after 1620. =X.= _Vespucius, Hamor, and John Smith._ In Latin, 1619 (twice); in German, 1618. =XI.= _Schouten and Spilbergen._ In Latin, 1619,—appendix, 1620; in German, 1619,—appendix, 1620. =XII.= _Herrera._ In Latin, 1624; in German, 1623. =XIII.= _Miscellaneous_,—_Cabot_, etc. In Latin, 1634; in German, the first seven sections in 1627 (sometimes 1628); and sections 8-15 in 1630.
