About This Item
T'Amstelredam: Joost Hartgers, 1648. Small 4to, pp. [4], 56 (i.e. 76); collating [A1]-E8; engraved woodcut vignette of 2 ships on both primary and secondary title pages; historiated initial on A3; includes the Journal of Dirck Albertsz Raven on p. 59-76; old blue paper-covered boards; small oil stain in the top fore-margin throughout; worn, but sound. First published in Haarlem, 1646. Willem Ysbrandtszoon Bontekoe (1587-1657) was a captain in the Dutch East India Company (VOC), who made only one voyage for the company (1618-1625). He became widely known because of the journal of his adventures that was published in 1646 under the title Journael ofte gedenckwaerdige beschrijvinge van de Oost-Indische. In 1618 Bontekoe enlisted in the service of the Dutch East India Company. On a voyage to Java he was shipwrecked, along with part of his crew, and continued in a lifeboat. After a grueling journey, including an attack by hostile natives on Sumatra, they reached Batavia on Java. Bontekoe was given a new command and an order to harass the Chinese coast, returning to Holland in 1625. The OCLC record calls for a portrait (and indeed in other editions there is a portrait), but neither Alden nor Sabin does for this edition. Sabin 6337, and 67980n (detailing the 30-odd editions up to 1810); European-Americana 648/21; 3 copies in OCLC, none in the U.S.
