No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work is an anonymous 1624 German report concerning the West India Company and the capture of Salvador da Bahia. Extensive searches across major library catalogs (UNESCO Index Translationum, Google Books, Open Library) yielded no record of an English translation. Given the nature of the text as a specific, contemporary historical report, it is highly probable that no English translation has ever been published.

This anonymous report captures the brutal 1624 Dutch seizure of Bahia from the perspective of an observer obsessed with both naval strategy and divine morality. You will discover how the hunger for colonial gold corrupted empires while shifting the balance of global power.
