The Witsen Project: an annotated re-edition of N. Witsen's "North and East Tartary" (1705) in Russian and Dutch

"The most important book ever written by a Dutchman about Russia is "Noord en Oost Tartarye" ( "North and East Tartary", 2 folio size volumes, 1000 pp., 130 illustrations) published in Amsterdam in 1705 and dedicated to tsar Peter the Great. Its author, the Amsterdam mayor Nicolaas Witsen, surveyed and disclosed in this collossal study all information available at that time about the still very unknown Northern parts of Russia and Asia. As a very wealthy member of the the Dutch political elite, pivot of the Dutch-Russian relations of his era and trustee of the United East-Indian Company (VOC) Witsen could collect an enormous mass of maps, travelogues, manuscripts and objects. He corresponded with many Europeans living in Asia and Russia and intimately knew a number of highly placed Russians. Witsen assisted Peter I in many ways during and after the tsar's stay in Holland. "North and East Tartary" is a most remarkable result of the commercial and scientific flourishing of the Dutch republic during its Golden Age, which was also a period of intensive Russian-Dutch collaboration.
