Extracted from Commelin's collection of voyages. - The first official account of the circumnavigation was published in 1626. This punitive fleet of eleven ships set sail to the coasts of South America with the objective of clearing the westward route to the Pacific of Spanish and Portuguese shipping. The fleet was outfitted under the auspices of the Dutch gouvernment, the two major companies, the Dutch East India Company and Dutch West India Company, having little interest in the Pacific (Howgego p.615). L'Hermite attacked Lima, burned a Spanish fleet at Callao, and went as far as north as Acapulco. It was one of the most spectacular raids against Spanish shipping. With important appendix: Description of Peru and Chile by Pedro de Madriga; Pedro Fernandez de Quir's voyage to Australia; and the history of the Dutch conquest of Banda. After L'Hermite was killed in Peru, Schapenham was appointed fleet commander and the veteran Jan Willemsz. Verschoor became vice admiral. They arrived for Ambon on April 2, 1625 with two captured ships. The 900 soldiers of the Nassau fleet helped Herman van Speult with an army of 2,000 men in the destruction of plantations on the west coast of Ceram. - (Age-browned).Landwehr, VOC, 250; European Americana II, p.453.

The other ships were commanded by Van Warwijck and Jacob van Heemskerk. Van Neck's ships became separated from those of Warwijck and Heemskerk shortly after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. He did see them only some time after his arrival at Bantam. Loaded with cargo, four of the ships under Van Neck returned to Holland in 1599, while Warwijck continued to the Moluccas and Heemskerk to the Banda Islands. Van Neck was accompanied by Willem Jansz, the discoverer of Australia, then on his first voyage as mate of the Hollandia. Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC voyages (Howgego p.746). An important account of the second voyage of the Dutch to the East-Indies and first Dutch voyage to the Moluccas, which became the foundation for later Dutch control of the Moluccan spice trade. Also including a vocabulary of Javanese and Malay words. The second part contains the voyage by Sebald de Weert. He sailed with the fleet of Jacques Mahu but was separated from the fleet in the Strait of Magellan and coincidentally encountered the fleet of Olivier van Noort which was sailing on a quite separate expedition which was to result in the first Dutch circumnavigation (Howgego p.1097). - Two important voyages combined in one volume. - A fine and scarce copy.Tiele 787; Tiele, Mémoire, 131; Landwehr, VOC, 251; Lach, Asia in the making of Europe III, p.439-440; Sabin 52214; European Americana II, p.493.

The able and sympathetic admiral, Jacob van Neck, was in supreme command. All eight ships reached Bantam and four of them were able to return immediately, loaded with pepper. The remaining four, under the command of vice-admiral Wybrant van Warwijck, continued the journey to Amboyna, the chief centre of the clove trade in the Spice Islands. Warwijck despatched his deputy, Jacob van Heemskerck, to the Banda Archipelago, the only place in the world in those days where nutmeg and its by-product mace were found. This is the most successful fleet of all Dutch voyages to Asia before the establishment of the VOC. - Fine complete set. [Boeknr.: 253 ]

Amsterdam, F. Halma, 1705.Folio. Contemporary vellum. With engraved alligorical frontispiece by Jan Goere, title-page printed in red and black and with engraved vignette by J. Punt, engraved portrait of the author, 5 large engraved vignettes and 60 beautifully engraved plates attributed to Maria Sybilla Merian. (28),340,(43) pp. First published in 1705. - Georg Everhard Rumphius (1628-1702) entered the VOC's service in 1652 and arrived in Ambon in 1653, where he was successively appointed to the ranks of ensign, assistant merchant and merchant and where he died in 1702. He became blind in 1670, but worked on, by help of an assistant. Another disaster followed in 1674 when his wife and daughter died during an earthquake and in 1687 his library, including his manuscripts and drawings, were destroyed by fire. But he started again from the outset. 'G.E. Rumphius, also known as the 'Indian Pliny', was one of the great tropical naturalists of the seventeenth century. Born in Germany, he spent most of his life in the employ of the Dutch East India Company, stationed on the island of Ambon in eastern Indonesia. He wrote two major works; this one, the first modern work on tropical fauna, was published posthumously in Dutch in 1705. A classic text of natural history. The descriptions in The Ambonese curiosity cabinet cover the gamut of organisms found in the seas surrounding Ambon - crabs, shrimps, sea urchins, mussels - as well as minerals and plants. A series of exquisite etchings accompanies the descriptions. This is the first great natural history of tropical marine life. Remarkable for its detailed observations of living animals, habitats, and fisheries, as well as the accuracy of its morphological descriptions and classifications, the entire work reflects Rumphius's practical talents as engineer, merchant, and student of local cultures, as well as pioneer naturalist. Rumphius provides an invaluable window on the richness of tropical nature as it used to be' (from the wrappers of the reprint of this book by E.M. Beekman, 1999). Recent research has proved that most of the plates are after drawings by Maria Sybilla Merian, in our copy they are strong and dark impressions.

One of the most extensive works on the history of the Far East (including Persia), which never can be superseded as many of the documents of which the author made use, do not longer exist. François Valentijn (1666-1727) was a minister of the Dutch Reformed Church who lived for many years on Amboyna and Java. During this period he collected an enormous mass of information, especially in the fields of history, geography and ethnology, concerning all parts of the world where the VOC was active: Indonesia, with large parts on Batavia and the Moluccas, Persia, Malacca, Ceylon, India, Cape of Good Hope, Japan, China and Formosa, etc.. The work is profusely illustrated with numerous fine engraved maps, plans, portraits and spectacular views. They are engraved by the best artists of the time like F. Ottens, J.C. Philips, G. Schouten, J. Goeree etc. mostly after designs by M. Balen. Apart from the fine engravings the work is of particular interest for its cartography. It contains interesting maps of Australia, probably drawn after manuscript maps now lost. For his descriptions of the natural history of Amboyna Valentijn used i.a. the unpublished 'Amboinsch Dierboek' by the famous naturalist Rumphius, of which the original manuscript has been lost.

VERHOEFF, Pieter Willemsz. Journael ende verhael van alle het gene dat ghesien ende voor-ghevallen is op de reyse, gedaen door .. Pieter Willemsz. Verhoeven, admirael generael over 13 schepen, gaende naer de Oost-Indien, China, Philipines, ende byleggende rijcken, in den jare 1607 ende volgende. (Amsterdam, Joannes Janssonius, 1646).Oblong 8vo. Modern boards. With plate depicting the fortress on Banda. 214 pp. (text set in two columns). Extracted from Commelin's collection of voyages. - Pieter Willemszoon Verhoeff (ca. 1573 - 1609) commanded one of the last voyages of the first phase of Dutch occupation in the East Indies. His instructions, in addition to destroying as much Iberian shipping as possible, were to drive the Spanish and Portuguese out of the Moluccas (Howgego p. 1065-1066). He died during an expedition to the Banda Islands in 1609, where he and many of his crew were ambushed and murdered by locals while negotiating with them for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). This account of Verhoeff's voyages is a composite piece. It starts with the journal by the chief merchant Johan de Moelre and continued, after he was killed, by the fleet's treasurer Jacques Le Febure. Followed by extracts from the journal of Reynier Dirckszoon, the pilot aboard one of the ships which sailed to Japan, and the journal of Jacob Specx and Pieter Segerszoon also on Japan. This piece is followed by a report by Samuel Bloemaert about trade and negotiations on Borneo and Appolonius Schotte's accounts of the Moluccas and Gillis Seys report of 1627 on Amboina. These materials constitute a rich source of information about the expansion of Dutch power in the Moluccas, the negotiations with the inlanders, the war with the Spaniards, the details of trade, and the daily life of the Dutch stationed there. This account of Verhoeff's voyage was never separately reprinted during the 17th century (Lach & Van Kley, III, p.471-472). - (Age-browned; missing pp.165-166 but added in photocopy).Landwehr, VOC, 250.
