Description
The work was published in Dutch and French and proved so successful that the plates were so worn by 1600. New ones were engraved by Benjamin Wright, Josua van den Ende, and the van Doetecum family. In 1602 - the present edition - was published with an appendix which included sailing directions and charts of the Dutch East and West Indies. " This edition shows the first Dutch attempts to break into the Portuguese empire in the East (the spice trade) and to penetrate the Spanish empire in the West (the trade in salt)" (Schilder).
