Aged nineteen he left home, to find a commercial situation in Hamburg. Two months later and unsuccesful he went on to Amsterdam. Even here his efforts were fruitless, so after six months, on 25 November 1644 he enlisted as a common soldier in the military service of the VOC. His social position entitled him to an officer's commission eventually, but he never rose beyond the rank of corporal. Saar sailed to the East Indies in early January 1645, on the Middelburg. After a short period on the islands of Banda, he went on to Ceylon where he served most of his term. (...) It appears that for a number of years Saar had kept a diary, but unfortunately it was lost at sea. He had to rewrite his experience from memory, so it is not surprising that the dates given by him in his account are not reliable. Saar's work was published in Nuremberg in 1662 (...). In 1672 a new, revised edition of the German original was published, this time in folio form. The illustrations are the same as in the first edition, the portrait and the frontispiece, however, being re-engraved by I.A. Böner." (De Silva/ Beumer p.449). "In this edition the description of the Cape extends to nine pages, including a remarkable view of Cape Town and Table Bay in which Table Mountain is represented in the shape of a lion."
