Book Description
This volume contains the Dutch entries in the pound-toll registers of Elbing during 1585-1700, a period virtually conciding with the Golden Age in the economic history of the Dutch Republic. Nine registers survive from the years 1585-1602 and 24 registers from the years 1603-1700.The text deal with what these entries tell us about Dutch ships's masters and merchants and their ships and cargoes. In 1952 the State Commission of Netherlands History decided that the Elbing data should be collected and made accessible to students of Dutch trade with the Baltic during the Golden Age.In 1972, a partial source edition appeared covering the period 1585-1602.
