= Van der Aa, VII, p.32: "(...) [dit werk was] het gevolg van eene uitdaging der Hervormde predikanten van 's Hertogenbosch, aan de Roomschgezinden in 1630, om met hen in tegenwoordigheid der regering, over de waarheid en den ouderdom der Roomsche kerkleer, te redetwisten, waarvan echter niets kwam en waarom Jansenius goed vond het eerste werk in het licht te zenden [1630], dat hij, nadat het door Voetius beantwoord was, door zijne Spongia Notarum deed volgen."

- Spine-ends and corners trifle rubbed. A very fine copy.
= Tiele 318; Cordier 488; Alt-Japan-Katalog 422. Hendrik Doeff (1777-1835) was president of the Dutch factory at Decima. The present work is based on Doeff's memories of his 18 year long stay in Japan from 1801-1819, during which he gained practically unsurpassed knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. On his return to Holland, the ship on which he and his pregnant wife travelled was shipwrecked. Apart from the sad loss of his (pregnant) wife, he also lost all his papers in the shipwreck, and as a result had to write these memoirs from memory. On Doeff in extenso J.

"Kaempfer's Werk is das erste auf Autopsie und Quellenauswertung beruhende Grundwerk über Japan" (Henze); "Kaempfer arrived in Java in October 1689. The following year he was appointed to accompany the annual voyage to Japan of the East India Company as a physician. He remained in Nagasaki from September 1690 to October 1692 and twice accompanied the chief of the factory at Deshima on his embassy to Edo (now Tokyo). In Nagasaki he made a profound study of Japanese history, geography, customs, and flora. (...). The History of Japan (1727) [of which our copy is the translation] was for more than a century the chief source of Western knowledge of the country. It contains the first biography of Kaempfer, an account of his journey, a history and description of Japan and its fauna, a description of Nagasaki and Deshima; a report on two embassies to Edo with a description of the cities which were visited on the way; and six appendixes, on tea, Japanese paper, acupuncture, moxa, ambergris, and Japan's seclusion policy (...)."

"In zijn voorbericht schrijft Martinet over de uitgave van Martin Schagen in 1732: 'Deeze druk geheel verkoght en thans zeldzaam te bekomen zijnde, werd ik verzogt, eenen anderen in een gemakkelyker Formaat, aan mijne landgenooten te geven.' Het is dus geen nieuwe vertaling, Martinet heeft alleen het werk van Haverkamp met uitvoerige voetnoten uitgebreid. De prenten die in deze uitgave voorkomen zijn van Simon Fokke en N. van der Meer." (Poortman). "Zo groot was zijn [Martinet's] werkkracht, dat hij in deze zelfde tijd nog kans zag de uitgave van Alle de Werken van Flavius Josephus te verzorgen (1783-1787). Hij vergeleek de bestaande vertalingen met de Griekse tekst en bracht, waar nodig, verbeteringen aan. Zijn aantekeningen waren voor niet-deskundigen geschreven, zodat Josephus' werk in breder kring gelezen kon worden." (Paasman).
