Nicolaes Witsen and shipbuilding in the Dutch Golden Age / A. J. Hoving ; translated by Alan Lemmers ; foreword by Andre Wegener Sleeswyk ; with an appendix by Diederick Wildeman. — 1st ed.

Hoving selected the portions of Witsen’s 1671 publication that deal specifically with Dutch shipbuilding and had them translated into English by Lemmers. Hoving then integrated this translation into a new text with commentary. “To reorganize Witsen’s text, I have cut his entire work (except the irrelevant chapters . . . ) into hundreds of selected fragments and then arranged them in a new sequence that follows Witsen’s own description of the construction process.”—Introd.
