Schouten (1638 – 1704) was a Dutch sailor, surgeon and explorer who sailed for the Dutch East India Company. The present work is an extensive account of his experiences during his time serving for the VOC in Batavia, Ceylon, the Moluccas islands and other parts of South East Asia, published first in Dutch –also in German-, in 1676, from which this French translation was prepared. ========================================== =========================== Please see my other auctions Thank You Refund Policy: We will issue a FULL REFUND, 100% money back if you are not satisfied with your purchase.

Should have asked for additional pictures as the books weren’t in quite as good of condition as I expected. However, the seller had answered all my questions accurately, I just didn’t ask enough. Shipping was very quick and well done. Despite a little disappointment I would buy from this seller again. I don’t have an issue with them.
