NHSM I, p.173; Howgego I, B131. Rare complete copy of the first revised edition, with new plates by S. Saverij. Very popular itinerary, often reprinted up to the nineteenth century. The voyage of Bontekoe became a byword for a voyage full of adversities. The ship caught fire after passing Madagascar and exploded when the flames reached the powder-room. The survivors continued their voyage in a shallop and after much suffering and many adventures they were rescued in Straits Sunda by a Dutch fleet under F. Houtman. The rest of the journal narrates Bontekoe's further experiences in Indonesia and China until his safe arrival in his hometown Hoorn. "Bontekoe's Journal (...) became one of the most popular books of its genre. Written in a simple, earthy language, it ran to thirty editions in the following fifty years and was translated into nearly every European language. At one time it was reckoned to be out-selling the New Testament." (Howgego B131). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXVI.

= Very rare. Landwehr, VOC, 294. Account of the VOC-cartographer Jacob de Bucqouy, posted in Fort Lijdzaamheid (present day Maputo, Mozambique). This VOC post was a financial failure and on top of that the Dutch fort was raided by English pirates in 1722 and part of the VOC employees were taken as hostages. Part of the hostages and the pirate crew were dropped at Madagascar. The author spent 3 years on the island. After that he and others built a small vessel that reached Mozambique and the few survivors of that voyage found a ship that took them to Goa, India. He reached the Dutch VOC posts on the Malabar coast and was finally taken to Batavia, Dutch Indies. In Batavia he found employment as taxcollector and mathmatics teacher. In 1731 he took an appointment as a bookkeeper in Ligor, Siam (Thailand), where he was promoted to resident. In 1735 he ended his contract with the VOC and returned via Cape de Goede Hoop, South Africa to the Netherlands. De Bucquoy gives various lively descriptions of the places and people he encounters, i.a. Maputo bay, Madagascar, Goa, Cape Goede Hoop and life aboard a pirate ship. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXVI.
