The documents are translated at the
bottom of the HTML page. Long documents are
split up; to read the English translation just
click on "English." The bigger ones
also open in a new window. If the "back
button" is grayed out, just close that
window.
Instead of opting for an easy-to-read
translation (which involves extensive interpretation)
I decided to translate these documents as literally
as possible. This makes them somewhat harder
to read and understand, but I think this is
preferable to a liberal translation, even though
original ambiguity -- sometimes as well as
unintelligibility -- remains. The subject of
a sentence is often omitted in 17th century
Dutch, so sometimes I added one between square
brackets [like this]. I also made occasional
comments and clarification. Translations of
the original texts are always in italics. For
comments, corrections, suggestions or discussion,
please contact me (I love to receive e-mail).
All these documents are authentic and can be
found and verified in various archives and
libraries. © Henny Savenije. Dates don't need
to be changed since in the seafaring provinces
the Gregorian calendar
was already adopted
