Anonymous (late 17th cent.). (Mathematical treatise on practical geometry). Manuscript in pen and ink on paper, late 17th cent., (2 blank),(63) lvs., occas. w. calligraphed divisional title-pages and illustrations in pen and ink and grey wash, 19th cent.(?) paper ream wrapper w. large woodcut of the manufacturer and "Pro Patria", "IV" and "Super Fyn Fyn", w. paper ticket mounted on frontcover w. ms. "XVa", folio.

- The first work w. 1 leaf lacking lower outer corner w. loss of text. The second work w. some lvs. loose and partly waterstained in lower margin. Vellum binding stained; paper wrapper splitting on spine and worn.

= A surveyor Cornelis de Waeijer, who lived in Scherpenisse, was officially admitted to the profession by the Court of Holland on 25th of May 1656 (E. Muller and K. Zandvliet, Admissies als landmeter in Nederland voor 1811, p.169). Probably written in the province South Holland or Zeeland, with the examples given in the text of calculations "St. Annaland", "Bergen op Zoom", "Tholen", "Iersickedamme", "in 't Eijlandt Goes", "Poortvliet", "Westerkerke", "Scherpenisse", "Maartensdijck" and "Heensen Molen", locations which, according to the text, can all be seen from "Oudt Vossemaer". The works are instructional texts for surveying land with use of mathematics. Names mentioned are Archimedes, Van Ceulen (De Arithmetische en Geometrische fondamenten, Leyden, 1615), P. Ramus, Meetkonst (Amst., 1622) and Euclides.

The surveys done in the second work involve extremely complex calculations.

Furthermore, the manuscripts closely resemble the manuscript BPL1970 kept at Leyden University. The Leyden manuscript (by W. Craeye) is dated 1658 and it contains the note that it was "gecopieert met haest".

On the paper: the first work on paper w. watermark of a five-pointed foolscap w. the 2 outer points w. circles (not found in Laurentius) and the second work w. watermark coat of arms of Amsterdam w. "IM" or "MI" (not found in Laurentius but this type of watermark is not found until after ±1690). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXVI.

78/2467 [Meteorology]. Duijn, N. (1st half 18th cent.). "Tot Gedagtenis van de Winter van den Jaare 1740. Hoe elken dagh het Weer en Wint sig gedragen heeft." AUTOGRAPH REPORT SIGNED, pen and ink, signed and dated "Geopserveerd tot haarlem op de Terrometer van de Hr.[?] Farnheyd door de Hr. Nicolaas Duijn In 't Schrikkeljaar 1740", (8)p. on 1 folio leaf (41x32 cm.), recto and verso.

= Remarkable series of meteorological observations by Nicolaas Duijn, who deligently kept records of the weather over a period of 7 years between 1735-1742. He was one of quite a few people in the Netherlands who kept meteorological records between 1697 and 1860, occas. over periods of several decades (see F.W.C. Krecke, Het klimaat in Nederland, p.3). The winter of 1740 is reckoned to have been one of the coldest of the past 300 years. In his partly factual and partly anecdotal annotations Duijn writes about the lack of food and water, the exorbitant prices asked for groceries and buckets of water, and the resulting famine and death. Duijn's account supplies information about the cold circumstances in Amsterdam and surroundings. One of his observations is that the ice on the canals was so thick (up to 43 cm.) that there was no one to be found who was willing (even for a substantial payment) to cut and break the ice so that the city could be reached by boats again. Ice-cutters who had tried, found that their clothes froze on their bodies, and had to give up their work in order be defrosted indoors. Meat and vegetables froze (even indoors) within a few hours, adding to the misery. He also writes that the number of frozen corpses found in the streets of Amsterdam, suggested that the death toll in the rural areas of Holland would probably be very high. From other sources (i.a. Wikipedia) we know that passengers on horsedrawn coaches arrived frozen at their destination. Apart from a continuous series of general meteorological observations from the 1st of January to 10th of March, the report also contains thrice daily temperature measurements for 17 dates between 1 January and 24 February.
