- Both vols. upper hinge weak/ broken. Vol. 1 lacks ties. Vol. 2 vellum stained. Otherwise very fine copies.
= Ad 1.: fol. 35: "Staet ende Repartitie van het Crijchsboeck so te peert als te voet, ende andere lasten vander Oorloge". The "Staet en Repartitie" is what today would be called "Budget of the Ministry of War". Separately for each province (Gelderland, Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Friesland, Groningen, Overijssel and Drenthe) it lists all officers of the army with their names, the number of soldiers they command, the "doctoren ende chirurgijns", the chaplains, and all other military officials, the pensioners, widows and orphans. And all these with their pay and allowances. Also, the other war expenses for i.a. maintenance of fortifications, etc. Generally such budgets were very matter-of-fact, confined to enumerations and additions. The one offered here, presented to the government in the year of the Peace of Westphalia that finished the Eighty Years' War, has a very interesting introduction. It explains the duties of the government after the conclusion of peace: to provide the state with a strong army to maintain the peace, liquidation of war-debts, to look after the relatives of soldiers, etc. There is a long passage devoted to the West Indian Company, containing an urgent appeal to the government for military and financial assistance to the Company, and to its Brasilian enterprise. Two years later Brazil was lost by the Dutch. A very nice contemporary copy from the library of Wolff van Haersolte, with his owner's entry on first free endpaper (a representative of the "Ridderschap van Veluwe" in the Privy Council, 1648-1658).
