J. A. de Chalmot, in his _Biographical Dictionary of the Netherlands_, vol.
vii. p. 251., names as author, or rather as compiler of this work, Isaak
Commelin, born at Amsterdam 19th October, 1598, died 3rd Jan. 1676, and
quotes Kasp. Commelin's _Description of Amsterdam_, which I have not at
hand to refer to. The work was printed at Amsterdam without printer's name:
each _voyagie_ or description is separately paged; some places have a
French text. In the second volume is a _Generale beschryvinghe van Indien,
&c._, naer de copÿe ghedruckt tot Batavia in de druckerÿe van Gansenpen,
anno 1638 (_General Description of India, &c._, according to the copy
printed at Batavia at the office of the _Goose Quill_). Whether any other
pieces which Commelin compiled had been earlier printed, I have not been
able to discover.--_From the Navorscher._
