Hakluytus Posthumus or Purchas His Pilgrimes is a monumental collection of travel narratives compiled by Samuel Purchas, published in the early 17th century.

Volume 14 offers a rich tapestry of first-hand accounts, reflecting the ambitions, challenges, and discoveries of explorers, traders, and adventurers. The collection remains a cornerstone of historical and geographical literature, offering readers a window into a pivotal era of human history and the expansion of European influence across the globe.
