About this Item

Amsterdam, Henry & Theodore Boom, 1677. 2 volumes in 1. 12mo. Contemporary vellum. With engraved title-page, portrait and 2 engraved title-vignettes. (18), 480; 250 pp. First edition; with the bookplate of H. de la Fontaine Verwey. - First monograph on the great Dutch admiral Michiel de Ruiter (1607-1676) who fought the English and French and scored several major victories against them, the best known probably being the Raid on the Medway. This monograph was based on the first biography of De Ruyter written by Lambertus van den Bosch in his Leeven en daden der doorluchtighste zeehelden (Amsterdam 1676). The book by Pielat was published after De Ruiter was given an elaborate state funeral, the publishing date of his book must be around 1681 but it was issued before the famous biography of Gerard Brandt. It also contains the account of De Ruiter's expedition to the West Indies.- (Light staining). - Rare. Not in Cat. NHSM; European Americana IV, p.32. Seller Inventory # 34171
