This work has been identified as the first German edition of part three of the Small voyages by Church.
The first part is a translation of selections of: Itinerario, voyage ofte schipvaert, van Ian Huygen van Linschoten naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien / by Jan Hyugen van Linschoten, first printed Amsterdam, 1596.
"Indianische Historia, darinnen erzehlet wirdt, was den Holländischen Schiffen widerfahren, mit sonderbarer Anzeig ser Sitten, Religion, Wesen vnd Hausshaltung der Völcker, so die Holländer besucht, vnd was für Geldt, Specerey, Gewürtz, vnd Kauffmannschafft bey denselben, vnd vmb was Preiss, zufinden", p. 85-172, is a translation of: Verhael vande reyse by de hollandtsche schepen gedaen naer Oost Indien published by Barent Langenes, Middelburg, 1597. The voyage was made under the command of Cornelis de Houtman.
"Gerardus de Veer von Amsterdam. L.S.", p. 173-233, [1], 2nd and 3rd counts, is a translation of: Waarachtige beschrijving van drie seylagien, ter werelt noyt soo vreemt ghehoort, drie jaeren achter malcanderen deur de Hollandtsche ende Zeelandtsche schepen by noorden Noorweghen, Moscovia ende Tartaria, na de coninckrijcken van Catthai ende China ..., / by Gerrit de Veer, first printed Amsterdam, 1598.
This part contains (1) chapters 92-99 of Linschoten's voyages, translated by Bilibaldus Strobaeus. (2) The first chapters of an account of a voyage made to the East Indies in 1595-97 under the direction of Cornelius de Houtman. This is a translation of the German edition which the de Brys published in 1598. A Latin edition was printed at Amsterdam in 1598, but this was not used in this translation, which is inferior to it. (3) A journal of three voyages made by the Dutch in 1594-97, in their attempts to reach the East Indies by the north. This relation, written by Gerrit de Veer, was published in Amsterdam in 1598. A translation in Latin by Carolus Clusius Atrebatensis (Charles de l'Ecluse, d'Arras), which was published in the same year, was used, with many omissions, in this part. Cf. Church.
Also contains the first part of Willem Lodewijcksz's Navigatio Hollandorum in insulas Orientales, first printed Amsterdam, 1598, under title D'eerste boeck; Historie van Indien. Includes references to Brazil. Cf. Alden.
