The aim of this series is to present an inventory of rare and significant Dutch maps and charts from the period 1550 and 1700. The bi-lingual work (Dutch and English) is the result of the author's investigations carried out during the past 30 years in numerous Dutch and foreign collections. Many maps are reproduced in full size facsimiles. In this way rare cartographical material will be made more readily accessible to people interested in the subject. With the publication of Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica the knowledge and appreciation of Dutch cartography in its Golden Age will be furthered.
