First French edition, published as volume VI and VII of Renville, Recueil des voyages. -
Wouter/Gautier Schouten (1638-1704), Dutch seaman and traveller, first sailed in the
service of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) from Amsterdam as ship’s surgeon
in April 1658 and spent the following seven years in the East, participating in many
notable voyages. In 1660 he was present at the Dutch siege of Makassar (in Sulawesi),
and in November 1661 visited Colombo, in Ceylon. During 1661-62 he participated
in the campaigns of Rijcklof van Goens along the Malabar coast, and in 1664 he was
in Bengal and Arakan. In Batavia in 1667 he collected information about the loss of
Zeelandia (on Formosa/Taiwan). He also visited Sumatra, the Moloccas, Amboina
and the Cape of Good Hope, finally returning to Holland in October 1665. Schouten
was an observant traveller who explored inland into the environs of nearly every portof-call,
sometimes by himself or with a small group of comrades. His narrative, full of
anecdotes as well as information gleaned about countries he had not visited became
particularly popular with readers in the eighteenth century, when it was published in
no fewer than seven editions (Howgego, Encyclopedia of exploration, p.947). Because
of its extraordinary literary quality this travel-account stayed very popular till to-day.
