It was one of the earlier navigational guides or pilot books, whose purpose was to show sailors how to navigate various European and New World coastlines. See also :fr:Routier (instructions nautiques). It was first published in French in 1547 , apparently printed in Bordeaux by Jean Chouin. The only known copy of the 1547 edition was acquired by the French Bibliotheque nationale in c1900. Until then it was thought that the first edition of the book was the 1632 Rouen edition. 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. 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 .
