They are as follows: (1) the voyage of Jacob van Neck, from 1600-1604, during which he visited the islands of Ternate and Macao, and the city of Patane. The narrative of this voyage was written by Roelof Roelofsz and was translated by Artus for both the German and Latin editions of De Bry. (2) Jan Harmensz. Bree's account of the voyage to the East Indies in 1602-1604, under the command of Admirals de Weert and Pietersz. (3) A short relation made by Cornelis Claesz of that part of the expedition, under the command of Admiral van Neck, which was detached from the main fleet, placed under the command of Corneille Nicolas, and visted China. (4) The voyage of two vessels detached from the fleet under the command of Wilbrandt van Warwijck and placed under the command of Cornelis van de Venne, who sailed with them to China. This relation was published in the Small Voyages for the first time. (5) An account of the second voyage of Steven van der Hagen to the islands of the Moluccas in 1603-1606; first published in Rotterdam in 1606"--Church.
