Giving not only a day-to-day record of events in the capital of the Company's empire but also a meticulous account of the ships entering and leaving Batvavia, together with very detailed reports of all the news these ships brought from all those parts of the world with which the Dutch East India Company (VOC) maintained contact. The most important letters from Asiatic rulers have been included in translation together with their replies. A source of primary importance for all events in Asia insofar as these were of interest to the VOC (Coolhaas, A critical survey of studies on Dutch colonial history, 1960 pp. 28-29).
Prima exemplaar. Zeldzaam.
