English translation of François Valentyn's Beschryving van Groot Djava ofte Java Major, &c. (1726), in the first part of Deel IV of his Oud en Nieuw Oost-Indiën, beginning with the title page.
It is in sections, apparently done independently by different hands (as the sections sometimes overlap), and on paper that varies from 31 x 20 to 34 x 25 cm.; pp. 7-20 (31 x 20 cm.) Contains a French as well as an English version (both abridged) of pp. 2-7 of the original; pp. 23-37 (34 x 25 cm.) resume at p. 6 of the original and go on (with many omissions) to p. 15; then pp. 39-85 (32 x 20 cm.) resume again at p. 15, overlapping the preceding section. The translation then goes on more regularly (lists of names being, however, generally omitted) to p. 1065, corresponding with p. 228 of the original (=the end of the Beschryvinge van Bantam); This volume ends with Book 2 Chapter 2, and is continued in 73, Part 2 and 73, Part 3. infra. q.v.
