Title: Suiker, verfhout & tabak. Het Braziliaanse handboek van Johannes de Laet, 1637. Bezorgd en ingeleid door B.N. Teensma.
Description: Zutphen, Walburg Pers, 2009. Cloth, with dust-jacket. With 22 maps and plates. 190 pp. Linschoten-Vereeniging CVIII. - De Laet compiled a handbook for Dutch sailors and colonizers in Dutch-Brazil. It was shipped to Pernambuco in early 1637. Since then, the bundle had disappeared from view, until it reappeared in 1977 in the John Carter Brown Library in Providence (USA). The Handbook is now being published in Dutch for the first time. It contains new facts about early 17th century Brazil. High-quality intelligence, which paints us an exciting picture of the Dutch expansion in Brazil and the fierce competition with the Portuguese for the trade in sugar, paint wood and tobacco
