= Oldenburger-Ebbers/ Stehouwer, Bibliografie 18de eeuwse Ned. boeken tuinarchitectuur, p.8: "Knoop dankt zijn reputatie voornamelijk aan de vele publikaties over de cultuur van gewassen. Zijn Beschouwende en werkdadige Hovenier-konst valt enigszins buiten deze reeks. Behalve dat het boek handelt over het kweken van bloemen en planten, komen ook de vormgevende aspecten van een tuinontwerp aan bod. Zijn aanbevelingen leveren Baroktuinen op." A very useful and instructive garden manual. One of the rarest Knoop publications.

= Tiele 433; Landwehr, VOC 347; cat. NHSM I, p.243; De Silva/ Beumer p.461-462. "Haafner [1755-1809] started his literary activities very late in life. His first travel-book was published in 1806 in Haarlem: Lotgevallen op eene reize van Madras over Tranquebaar naar het eiland Ceilon. (...). The importance of Haafner's eyewitness accounts is that they were done during the decay of the VOC. Terpstra, in his analysis of Haafner's views on colonialism as expressed in his works, comes to the conclusion that Haafner was an anti-colonialist, a man before his time, for his ideas were not to be topical until more than a century had elapsed." (De Silva/ Beumer).

"This was no easy journey in those days. Ides, who was a Dane in the service of Peter the Great, set out from Moscow March 14, 1692. (...) He composed his journal for the information and satisfaction of Peter the Great who was well pleased with the results and rewarded the author with the post of Privy Councillor. (...) The expedition added considerable geographical knowledge to the little that was known about Northern Manchuria and China." (Cox). "Ides (...) spricht Henning (p.339) das Verdienst zu, "die erste Reisebericht über Siberien veröffentlicht zu haben, das sich frei halte von Unwahrscheinlichkeiten und Unverständlichkeiten, und nach denen man sich wirklich ein Bild des durchreisten Gebiets machen konnte"." (Henze). This account describes parts of Central Asia about which no earlier accounts exist. As a result of it, it became possible to fill in blank parts of the map.
