Voyages and Travels Mainly During the 16th and 17th Centuries, Vol. 2
Excerpt from Voyages and Travels Mainly During the 16th and 17th Centuries
In compiling his great book Linschoten was greatly helped by the eminent scholar, Bernard ten Broecke, the physician of Enkhuizen, who in the world of letters was known as Paludanus, the Latin equivalent of his surname, for scholars were still ashamed to be known as John Brewer and Jim Baker. Many of the notes and not a few passages interpolated into the text are from the hand of Paludanus, whose comments, though learned enough, are not always as much in touch with fact and nature as could be desired.
