Sailing for the East. History and catalogue of manuscript charts on vellum of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) 1602-1799.

Volume X in the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography (Explokart).



The Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company) was for a period of 200 years responsible for the navigation material for the journey between the Netherlands and the Far East and the inter-Asian trade. On the basis of newly found archive materials which were never published before, this book gives a more complete and startling overview of chart material used on a VOC-ship than has ever been possible. All navigation charts of the VOC in the 17th and 18th century, drawn on vellum (of which many were traced in foreign collections), are described and analysed in a profusely illustrated cartobibliography. In a supplement extracts of the ‘groot-journalen’ of the ‘Kamer Amsterdam’ are published. These give a unique view of the total expenses of the VOC on navigation. The extensive introduction gives much new, comprehensive and detailed information on the history of the VOC, the chart makers, the routes, the navigation and the instruments.
