SPEELMAN, CORNELIS JANSZOON:

[DUTCH EAST INDIA COMPANY] Journal, oder Kurtze Erzehlung des Anfangs, Fort- und Au§gangs des Krieges, welcher zwischen dem König und mehrerer Regierunge des Reichs Macassar und der Oost-Indischen Compagnie der Vereinigten Niederlanden in den Jahren 1666, 1667, 1668 und 1669, geführet worden. Hamburg, Gottfried Schultzen, 1670.

. 4to. Pp. (36). Title printed in red and black. Modern boards. Rare, first German edition, first published in Dutch 1669. This is an early account of Makassar (Sulawesi Island), an important trading centre in Indonesia at this time. Cornelis Speelman was born in Rotterdam 1628. At the age of sixteen he travelled to the East Indies, where he remained for the rest of his life in the service of the Dutch East India Company. From the beginning of the 16th century, Makassar was the major trading centre in eastern Indonesia where Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Siamese, Javanese and Malays came to exchange goods (spices, metal goods, textiles, gold, copper, pearls, etc.). Makassar was Sulawesi's major port and centre of the powerful Gowa and Tallo Sultanates. The first Europeans (Portuguese sailors) arrived in the 16th century and the Dutch followed in the early 17th century with the aim of creating a hegemony over the spice trade. In 1666 Speelman led a Dutch expedition to Makassar, aided by Bugis soldiers, succeeding in destroying the strongholds of the Sultanate of Gowa. The Treaty of Bongaja was signed in 1667 between Sultan Hasanudin of Gowa and the Dutch East India Company (VOC) which meant that all traders from Gowa had to apply for licences in order to do business in regions controlled by the VOC. Speelman was Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies between 1681 and his death in 1684. A few library copies are found in Germany, one at Cornell and one in the Netherlands. We don't know if this edition was issued with a map. The original Dutch edition doesn't have any map but a few library copies of the German edition do, while others do not have a map. Not in Cordier. Landwehr VOC 238 (no map). Van der Wulp (no map). See Howgego p. 987 (for Speelman).
