Catalogue Note

This unusual collection of one (almost) complete book and several large fragments from Michiel Colijn's famous and famously rare oblong issues of Dutch travels is similar in ambition, if significantly messier in execution, to the twin volumes now housed in the British Library (HMNTS 983.ff.6).
