's-Gravenhage, Martinus Nijhoff, 1980-1981. 2 vols. XIII,307, IX,338 pp. B./w. ills, incl. maps. Orig. uniform blind stamped blue cloth, lettered gilt to spine, gilt vignette to upper board. - Without dust jackets; stamps on verso of title pages of both volumes. (Werken uitgegeven door de Linschoten-Vereeniging, 82 & 83). The fourth Dutch voyage to the East Indies (1599-1604) took place under the leadership of Jacob Wilkens and Jacob van Neck. This expedition is historically significant because it marked the first direct trade contacts between the Netherlands and Vietnam. The fleet was under the command of Admiral Jacob Wilkens, with Jacob van Neck as second in command. The expedition departed in 1599, and the last ships returned to the Republic in 1604. This voyage was an undertaking of the so-called 'pre-companies', the trading associations that operated before the founding of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1602. - Text in Dutch.

This famous pioneering voyage, commanded by Cornelis de Houtman, would abruptly end the Portuguese Empire's trade monopoly for the East and it would dramatically change the Indian Ocean theatre, notably the balance of power and the rules of trade. Already in 1598, shortly after the return of the first fleet, the Amsterdam publisher Cornelis Claesz published an acclaimed account of the first voyage, written by Willem Lodewijcksz, an officer on the fleet. The journal was an instant success that sold in many editions and was translated in several languages. The journal's title page has a small overview map of the route. Shortly after the first fleet, Dutch merchants immediately organized a much larger second fleet using venture capitalist funding, and this fleet reached the Moluccas to buy spices without middle men and to establish trade relations there. The fleet was much larger and better organized than the first fleet, and the journal that was published in 1601 contains the first detailed printed maps of all of the different spice islands of Banda, Ambon, Ternate and Tidore, as well as the first printed views of their inhabitants. The first and second fleet would abruptly end the Portuguese Empire's trade monopoly for the East and it would dramatically change the Indian Ocean theatre, notably the balance of power and the rules of trade. Right from the first and second fleet onward, the Dutch would found the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and were going to dominate the East Indies and its trade for more than 350 years.

Paperback. Condition: Very good. First. First edition. Amsterdam: Joost Hartgerts, 1650. Quarto in 8s (7 7/16" x 6 3/16", 188mm x 157mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved vignette to title page, six in-text engravings, and woodblock initials and tailpieces. Bound in contemporary stabbed red floral paste-paper wrappers. Presented in a red morocco-backed velvet-lined clam-shell box. The spine perished, and the sewing precarious at the front wrapper. Some chipping and peripheral loss to the wrappers. Generally tanned, minor staining along the fore-margins throughout. Bookplate of Ted Benttinen laid in at the front. Armorial bookplate of Clemens Platen-Hallermund to the recto of the front binder's blank. Joost Hartgerts as publisher-editor has brought together into a slim volume two abridged accounts of Dutch voyages from the turn of the XVIc. The first account is Olivier van Noort's wildly popular narrative of his global circumnavigation (see our example of second edition in French, published 1610) and the second details Jacob van Neck's voyage to the East Indies, establishing the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, VOC). The plates depict harbors and native people. Van Noort (1558-1627) was the first Dutch explorer to circumnavigate the globe. He set out in 1598 and completed the trip in 1601, establishing Dutch dominance in exploration. Van Noort was the commander of a fleet of four ships and navigated a route to the Indies by way of the Straits of Magellan. He coasted along Chile and Peru, then turned westward across the Pacific, finally returning to Rotterdam in August of 1601. He arrived back in Holland with only one battered ship and his crew vastly depleted. The published accounts sold well, with the first examples appearing less than a month after his return and later publications -- such as this one -- cropping up well into the XVIIc. Jacob Corneliszoon van Neck (1564-1638) came from a well-to-do Amsterdam family. In 1598, he was selected to lead a fleet of eight ships in the second Dutch voyage to Bantam (present-day Banten, Indonesia). Van Neck set out from Texel with the purpose of bringing back various spices to the Netherlands. His crew battled dysentery and weathered storms, but van Neck made his triumphant return to Amsterdam in 1599 after fourteen months at sea. Arriving with almost one million pounds of clove, pepper, cinnamon, mace, and nutmeg, crowds greeted him in the streets with fanfare and gifts. Like van Noort's, van Neck's account was published for decades after his home-coming, making this compilation a classic of Dutch golden-age exploration. Clemens Platen-Hallermund (1902-1983) was a member of a high noble (Hochadel) German family that dates to the Middle Ages. The line of Platen-Hallermund was raised to the rank of Imperial count by Leopold I in 1689. His library was kept at Schloss Weissenhaus in Schleswig-Holstein. Theodore "Ted" Benttinen (1948-2023) was an MIT-educated oceanographer and explorer who went to both poles on research missions. Benttinen amassed a formidable collection of books of exploration, particularly strong in Pacific voyages as well as in polar accounts. The present volume was lot 205 in the Sotheby's New York 9 December 2024 sale of his library. Alden & Landis 640/147; Sabin 5542; not in Landwehr. Catalogued by GR Murdock.

2 parts in one volume, Folio (13 x 9 1/4 in.; 33 x 23.5 cm.). 2 vignette title-pages illustrated with the same large engraving including an elephant, that for the Appendice with the "No. 19" additionally engraved in the image, large vignettes in the text, including maps of Mauritius, the harbour at Arosbaya, the islands of Ambon, Banda, Ternate, Gamalama, a scene including the first image of a Dodo, 16 further large vignettes, and 2 wood-cuts of nutmeg and cloves in the text; part of the top margin of the title-page excised removing 'Le second livre', one or two pale marginal stains. Modern half vellum, marbled paper boards. RARE, FIRST FRENCH EDITION of the account of the second Dutch Voyage to the East Indies, first published in Amsterdam in 1600, with an additional five plates and two woodcuts. Published only two years before the establishment of the Dutch East India Company, it is a curious mixture of "travel narrative and trade investment brochure" (NMMG). When Cornelis de Houtman returned home to the Netherlands in mid-January of 1597 after a successful voyage around the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean and back, the effect was dramatic and world changing, resulting in the opening of the spice rich East Indies to the Dutch spirit of enterprise, not to mention the filling of Dutch coffers. New fleets destined for the East Indies were immediately equipped. "The most important of these was the squadron consisting of eight ships under the command of Admiral Jacob Cornelisz van Neck and Vice-Admiral Wijbrant van Warwijck". After being caught in a heavy storm, Van Neck was separated from the fleet and they were not reunited until December of 1598 in Bantam, Java. During this time Van Warwijck continued the trip to Bantam independently. He undertook a further exploration of the island of Do Cirne, an uninhabited island that had already been discovered by the Portuguese and which was named Mauritius by the Dutch [in honour of Maurice van Nassau, Prince of Orange]. Commercially, Van Neck had more success than his predecessor. After he succeeded in purchasing enough spices to fill four ships, he returned to Holland yielding profits 3 times that of the voyage's costs.
