The author of this excellent description, de Veer, took part in the 2d and 3d voyage; he wrote the account of the 1st voyage on the materials furnished by his intimate friend, the renowned and skilful pilot W. Barentsz, who was present in all the 3 voyages.

The Latin text, given by de Bry, Petits Voy. III, is the same as published by Corn. Claesz in 1598 and made by C. C. A. (Corn. Clusius of Arras); but de Bry have suppressed a great deal of the text, and reduced the 31 plates to 23.
