Schilder, Gunter, and Hans Kok SAILING FOR THE EAST. HISTORY AND CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPT CHARTS OF THE DUTCH EAST INDIA COMPANY (VOC) ON VELLUM, 1602-1799
Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2010 9.5 x 12.5 inches hardcover, dust jacket 750 pages
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. This book presents a never published before overview of chart material used on a VOC ship. The introduction provides information on the history of the VOC, the chart makers, the routes, and the navigation and instruments. All navigation charts of the VOC in the seventeenth and eighteenth century are drawn on vellum, and described and analyzed in an illustrated cartobibliography. Extracts of the 'groot-journalen' of the 'Kamer Amsterdam' are also included, providing a unique view of the total expenses of the VOC on navigation. Sailing for the East is part ten of the Utrecht Studies on the History of Cartography. Includes 600 full color images, CD-ROM with appendices.

Gunter Schilder graduated from Vienna University and has worked in the Netherlands at the Utrecht University on the history of cartography since 1971. In 1981 he was appointed professor of the history of cartography, a position he continued until his retirement in 2005. Schilder has written numerous publications on the history of Dutch cartography and discoveries, and as a result has agumented the knowledge of and appreciation for Dutch cartography in its Golden Age

Hans D. Kok attended the Dutch Government Civil Aviation Flying Training School and later joined KLM- Royal Dutch Airlines. His interest in navigation and maps stems from his early days of navigating across oceans and polar areas, practising the old techniques, using sextants and other specific navigational instruments. His map collection comprises maps and charts from 1560 till 1800, focusing on the sea-routes from Amsterdam to Jakarta, formerly Batavia, in the Dutch East Indies. He is currently on the Board of Editors of Caert-Thresoor in Holland, and is the Chairman of IMCoS, the International Map Collectors' Society in London.

Sinks, Perry Wayland. THE REIGN OF THE MANUSCRIPT.
Boston Richard G. Badger (1917) large 12mo. cloth. 176 pages.
Not a coherent history of manuscripts, but a somewhat digressive account of the transmission of texts before printing. With sections on ink, paper, writing systems, book making, libraries, etc. Makes frequent reference to the Bible. A very low-key, simply written attempt to introduce a kind of historical perspective on the Bible, for an audience unaccustomed to viewing it that way, for use, perhaps, by "Sunday school teachers...and leaders of teacher-training classes" (p.5). Blind-stamped emblem on back cover. Spot on front cover. Ownership inscription in pencil.

(Society of Antiquaries) Willetts, Pamela J. CATALOGUE OF MANUSCRIPTS IN THE SOCIETY OF ANTIQUARIES OF LONDON.
Woodbridge D.S. Brewer (2000) large 8vo. paper-covered boards, paper cover label xxv, (i), 619+(1) pages with 8 pages of black and white plates
First edition. The important manuscript collections of the Society of Antiquaries of London reflect the interests of the Fellows of the Society from its foundation in 1717; the professional and private connections of the Fellows, and their specialist knowledge, ensured that important manuscripts were recognized and acquired at times when earlier collections were being dispersed. The Lindsey Psalter and Winton Domesday are the best known manuscripts but there is a wide range of material, in many languages, dating from the late 10th to the 20th century, and including a number of fine illuminated manuscripts. The collections relate mainly to antiquities, history and law, theology and liturgy, heraldry and literature and contain many antiquarian curiosities, and there are early archaeological reports as well as recent surveys. Other illustrated records relate to antiquities, architecture and topography, and important early registers of the Society are also included. The first printed catalogue to be published on the Society's collections since 1816 begins with an introduction that describes the growth of the collections and concludes with a detailed index. The color frontispiece is tipped-in and the nine black-and-white illustrations follow page 294.
