In 1596 Jan Huygen van Linschoten published his Itinerario. It contained a section called the Reys-gheschrift, which was the first nautical compendium to include sailing routes on the earth’s three main oceans. This publication enabled the Dutch and the English to launch successful maritime strategies. In this article I discuss how Iberian Science, mainly its sources, was employed in the Reys-gheschrift, as well as the major changes made prior to publication and the reasons why Linschoten introduced them. These topics are connected with a major debate concerning the drive for geographical knowledge, in which I attempt to demonstrate the importance of Iberian Science for the onset of the Dutch maritime expansion and for European seamanship more broadly in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Jan Huygen van Linschoten 和 Reys-gheschrift：为荷兰扩张更新伊比利亚科学

1596 年 Jan Huygen van Linschoten 发表了他的 Itinerario。它包含一个名为 Reys-gheschrift 的部分，这是第一个包含地球三大主要海洋航行路线的航海纲要。该出版物使荷兰人和英国人能够成功地推出海上战略。在本文中，我将讨论伊比利亚科学（主要是其来源）是如何在 Reys-gheschrift 中使用的，以及在出版之前所做的主要更改以及 Linschoten 引入它们的原因。这些主题与一场关于地理知识驱动的重大辩论有关，在这场辩论中，我试图证明伊比利亚科学对于荷兰海上扩张的开始以及在 16 世纪和 17 世纪更广泛的欧洲航海技术的重要性。
