Work titles: Descriptio ac delineatio geographica detectonis freti
Notes: Constitutes the tenth part of Theodor de Bry's Small voyages, printed in 13 parts and an Appendix in Frankfurt am Main and Oppenheim from 1597 to 1633.

This work has been identified as the first Latin edition of part ten of the Small voyages by Church.

This part contains four short chapters as follows: (1) An extract giving an account of the discovery of Hudson's Bay. (2) A short account of the two voyages made to the north by Jan Huygen van Linschoten; taken from the Latin edition of his voyages, published in 1599. (3) An account of de Quir's voyage and discovery of the new continent, "Terra australis imcognita". (4 and 5) Extracts relative to the Samoiedes and other peoples of the north; with a description of Siberia by Isaac Massa. All of these, but the chapter devoted to Linschoten's voyages, were translated from the collection of Hessel Gerritsz, by Gothard Artus. Cf. Church.

Largely a reprint of the author's: Descriptio ac delineatio geographica detectonis freti; sive Transitus ad occasum, supra terras Americanas, in Chinam atque Japonem ducturi, recens investigati ab M. Henrico Hudsono Anglo / compiled and edited by Hessel Gerritsz, first printed in Amsterdam, 1612.
