His journal, written more than three hundred and fifty years ago, is based on the daily notes he made during his third trip to the East. This volume presents the selections from his journal that deal with Siam, accompanied by the original Dutch text. \u003cbr\u003eThis publication is the initiative of a group of Dutch and Thai scholars who intend to provide access to important Dutch texts about Siam from the VOC period by translating them into English along with a transcript of the original Dutch text. Heeck's journal was chosen for the strength of its observations of mid-seventeenth century Siam. Transcribed from the handwritten Dutch manuscript by Renée Hoogenraad.\u003cbr\u003ePublished with Silkworm Books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Barend Jan Terwiel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 906718327X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789067183277\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.27w x 0.30d","brand":"Barend Jan Terwiel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48588041978111,"sku":"9789067183277","price":71.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-traveler-in-siam-in-barend-jan-terwiel-9789067183277","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
