He sailed in the Tartar, a native boat (...). The voyage was one of examination and enquiry rather than of exploration, and the additions made to geographical knowledge were corrections of detail rather than startling discoveries, but the tact with which he conducted his intercourse with the natives, and the amount of work done in a small boat, deservedly won him credit as a navigator". - Rouffaer/Muller I, p.479; cf.

MARITIME HISTORY - TRAVELLING -- WITSEN, N. Aeloude en hedendaegsche scheeps-bouw en bestier: Waer in wijtloopigh wert verhandelt, de wijze van Scheeps-timmeren, by Grieken en Romeynen, Scheeps-oeffeningen, Strijden, Tucht, Straffe, Wetten en gewoonten. Beneffens evenmatige grootheden van schepen onzes tijts, ontleet in alle hare deelen (...). (With) Appendix. Amst., C. Cunradus, 1671. 2 parts in 1 vol. (14), 516; 40, (4) pp. W. engr. front. by R. de Hooghe & 112 - for the greater part full-p. (1 fold.) - engr. plates after N. Witsen. Fol. Cont. blind tooled vellum, spine raised in compartments. (Spine skillfully rep., new leather ties, upper fly leaf lacks, small hole in blank margin front., sl. browned/foxed in a few places). NOTE: Extremely rare real first edition of this work, with title-page printed in black with the address of the printer (Chr. Cunradus). It is illustrated with precise and detailed plates which were executed after drawings by Witsen himself. The plates are unnumbered in this edition! Only 1 other 'proof' copy with this imprint is found in NCC (University Library of Amsterdam). The number of plates of this work differ (Landwehr also has 112 plates). This work on ship building quickly became the standard work on the subject. It made Nicolaes Witsen (1641-1717), who was mayor of Amsterdam thirteen times and administrator of the VOC, come in to contact with Czar Peter the Great on modernising the Imperial Russian Navy, then backward by Western European standards. His contact with the Czar led to an order for warships from Amsterdam shipyards. In 1697 Witsen organised a four-month training period for the Czar at the Dutch East India Company shipyards. - Cf. Hoogendoorn, WitsenN04; Bierens de Haan 5368; NHSM p. 743; Landwehr RdH 16; NNBW IV, 1473. Extensively on Witsen (and this work): M. Peters: De wijze koopman. Het wereldwijde onderzoek van Nicolaes Witsen (1641-1717), burgemeester en VOC-bewindhebber van Amsterdam (2010). - Inserted is a small paper with annotations in an old hand on the ship "Hilverbeek", dated 1741.

FRANK, A. Het Achterhuis. Dagboekbrieven van 12 juni 1942 - 1 Aug. 1944. Met een voorw. d. A. Romein-Verschoor. Amst., 1947. ix, 253 pp. Illustr. w. front. portrait of the author, 2 photographic reproductions of the interior of the house, 1 floor plan, and 2 facsimiles from the diary. Obrds. (Binding w. the usual discolouring/browning). NOTE: "Ik bewaar alles voor Anne totdat ze terugkomt" ("I'm saving everything for Anne until she comes back"), is what Miep Gies said to Bep Voskuijl after she picked up Anne Frank's diary and other personal papers from the floor where they were scattered after the family Frank was arrested (S. v. Beek, Geschiedenis van het Dagboek, p. 30). That Miep Gies (1909-2010), whose real name was Hermine Santrouschitz, donated a first edition of 'Het Achterhuis' so shortly after its publication is rather spectacular. The book is signed Miep [Gies], 'Wil' and 'Greet' and was apparently donated to the Amsterdam resistance hero M[artin] Mobach on 13 July 1947, shortly after publication (ascertained by a letter by family member Marten Mobach, see the website further down). The identity of the other two women, 'Wil' and 'Greet', has not yet been determined. According to a ticket on the upper paste-down, this copy was bought in the bookshop of W. ten Have, Amsterdam. The book was restored by Wilma van Ipenburg. For further information on this copy please also go to: www.paulabels.nl/2021/04/anne-frank-in-de-goudse-sint-janskerk/

The Edict ended the first stage of the French Wars of Religion, inaugurating a period of official peace in France by guaranteeing the Huguenots religious privileges and freedoms. However, it was gradually undermined by continuing religious violence at a regional level and hostilities renewed in 1567. - This plate from the first edition, see at length Brunet V, 892.
