Beschreeven door Gerard Brandt, met schoone koopere plaaten verciert. Published in 1691 at Amsterdam by Wolfgang, Waasberge, Boom, van Someren en Goethals. Michiel de Ruyter was the greatest Dutch naval hero. De Ruyter gained several victories against the French and English, the best known being the Battle of Chatham. This was one of the worst defeats of the English.In 1681, five years after Michiel de Ruyter’s death, his son Engel de Ruyter approached the Amsterdam minister Gerard Brandt with the request to write the biography of his father. Brandt was a well-known biographer who wrote the biographies of Joost van den Vondel and Pieter Cornelisz Hooft, among others. He accepted the assignment and was given access to a large number of documents, ship’s logs and other sources from De Ruyter’s estate.For this book Brandt used several original documents from the Ruyter’s son, friends and acquaintances and official government documents. It is not a complete overview and Brandt, who worked on the biography for years, interviewed numerous contemporaries of the admiral. Brandt died in 1685. His two sons completed the biography, which was published in 1687. Engel himself had been dead four years at that time, but Michiel’s widow, Anna van Gelder, received the first copy of the book.Frontispiece uyt de Drukkerye van P en J Blaeu, laid down on contemporary paperTitle page with vignette entitled Indefessus AgendoOpdragt aan mevrouw Anna van Gelder – 4 pagesVoorrede aan den Lezer – 2 pagesPortrait of Michiel de Ruiter, strengthened at edgesHet Leven – pages 1-1065Register – 23 pagesThe book contains some stunning seventeenth century plates of the Dutch navy trouncing the opposition!
