[Hunting regulations for Zeeland]

op de Jacht, Vogelerije, Visserije, Vee, Helm inde Duynen, Boomen, Plantsoen ende ander gewas ten platten Lande ende andersints meer daer toe dienende, [in later writing:] 24 maart 1594." Manuscript in legible handwriting, cord-bound gathering of 4 folio leafs, of which 7 pages have been written on, at the end dated "XXIII maretij 1594" (folds).

A printed version of this text exists with the exact same title, published in 1613. In the title of that edition a reference is made to the text of our manuscript: "Uytgegeven den xxiiiien. Martij, M.D.XCIIII. Ende nu wederom vernieut." No copy of an edition from 1594 exists in Picarta (only one copy even of the 1613 edition), which makes our manuscript even more interesting. With: "Extract. Instructie voor de Rentmeester van de Domeinen van Zeelant bewesterschelt beoosterscheltende van der Tholen. [in later writing:] 22 jan.1582." Manuscript in legible handwriting, 3 pages, at the end dated 28 April 1655 and signed by the secretary of the Court of Holland, W. van Alphen, folio (edges with small defects). And with 3 similar, slightly later copies concerning hunting. Interesting hunting archive in contemporary paper cover titled "Jacht".
