They also consulted and negotiated with the Dutch officials, and sought help in their difficulties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e And, most frequently, they recorded their impressions so as to inform and astonish their friends in Europe with the wonders they had seen. These impressions were sometimes published; but more often they appeared in ships' log books, unpublished, and available to the researchers of today in archives and special libraries only. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch recorded impressions are the subject matter of this book : Major Raven-Hart has selected, transcribed and meticulously translated a total of 104 accounts by visitors to the Cape between 1652 and 1702. They are taken from the original Dutch, English, French, Portuguese, Danish and German; with one exception, the list is exhaustive for this period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe language styles are varied; quaint and vivid, penetrating, and sometimes quite coarse. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo accompany the transcribed texts, and to help the reader enjoy and understand, Major Raven-Hart has provided background and context notes to describe contemporary happenings in Europe, official records by the Cape commanders and governors and biographical notes on the writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e There is also a unique index : in this the reader will find references to animals, plants, persons, names, etc; a glossary of foreign words, definitions of various sea-faring and navigational terms and expressions; identifications of flora and fauna, bibliographies; and explanatory notes. This index is not just a valuable and practical working tool-it is virtually a concentrated companion-book or vade mecum for late 17th C history of the Cape. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA feature of this book are the illustrations: the author has been able to find 65 engravings, maps, title pages, portraits-most of which have been reproduced as full-or double-pages. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVolume I-Colour Tipped Frontispiece, xv + 222 pages detailed text with illustrations.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AA Balkema","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40286959239318,"sku":"Cape of Good Hope 1652-1702 : The First Fifty Years of Dutch Colonisation as seen by callers","price":420.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5524\/4438\/products\/20210716_164056.jpg?v=1626449897"},{"product_id":"kinders-van-die-kompanjie-kaapse-lewens-uit-die-sewentiende-eeu-afrikaans-hardcover-illustrated-edition-karel-schoeman","title":"Kinders Van Die Kompanjie - Kaapse Lewens Uit Die Sewentiende Eeu (Afrikaans, Hardcover, illustrated edition) Karel Schoeman","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKinders Van Die Kompanjie - Kaapse Lewens Uit Die Sewentiende Eeu (Afrikaans, Hardcover, illustrated edition) Karel Schoeman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardcover, ISBN 9781869191191\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher: Protea Boekhuis, 2006 First Edition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed - Very Good+.

As a direct result of this expansion, millions of India's skilled craftsmen and artisans became completely redundant in a country which, for two thoursand years, had thrived on her dominant position in world trade. Countless thousands of her maninly peasant population were gradually reduced to poverty and experienced the resultant wave of famine.

Dit is geskryf deur ‘n gesoute jagter en ‘n geesdriftige versamelaar wat alom beskou word as ‘n deskundige op die gebied van historiese vuurwapens. Die meer as driehonderd illustrasies maak die boek reeds vir die gewone man ‘n kleurryke avontuur, en vir die kenner en versamelaar sal dit jare lank ‘n gewilde standaardwerk bly. Die boek vertel die verhaal van die ont-wikkeling van die vuurwapen — sedert die Franciskaanse monnik Roger Bacon eeue gelede die samestelling van bus-kruit opgeteken het, tot vandag. Die een na die ander gaan ou vuurwapens voor die leser verby: Die primitiewe lontslot-, draaiskyf- en vuursteenpangewere, die doppiegewere — na ‘n predikant se ontdekking van knalsuursoute, die eerste agterlaaiers, en eindelik die moderne grendelslot-magasyngeweer met sy groefloop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eByna elke soort geweer en handwapen wat deur die jare oor die wes reld vervaar-dig is, het eindelik sy weg na Suid-Afrika gevind en hier deel van ons leefwyse en ons geskiedenis geword. Vir die eerste keer word hier nou ook die belangrike rol van die vuurwapen in ons geskiedenis aangedui. Dit word ‘n verhaal van moed en durf om ‘n nuwe vaderland met primi-tiewe muskette, Ou Sannas, Oortmans en Jan Cuylenburgs bewoonbaar te maak. Uit herinneringe van vorige geslagte roep die skrywer ‘n beeld op van ‘n pioniersbestaan waar daar met die roer in een hand en die graaf in die ander gewerk word. Maar gaandeweg sien die leser Suid-Afrika ook as ‘n land wat in die vorige eeu nog ‘n wildparadys was waar oorsese en Boere-grootwildjagters met die beste beskikbare gewere jare lank uit die jag ‘n bestaan kon maak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVoorbeelde van gewere uit feitlik elke ontwikkelingstadium en van byna elke maak, is opgespoor, beskryf en geillustreer. Baie van die foto’s is van besondere stukke in museums en private versamelings.
