Google has fully digitised the copy belonging to the University of Ghent, enabling a page-by-page and print-by-print comparison. We can also consult the binder's index which we do not possess. From this, we conclude that the following is missing: in part 1 the print "Spaensche Tiranny in West-Indien" (opp. page 474); in part 2 the map of Asia opp. page 529; in part 3 the prints "Bedel en Slaght Papen" opp. page (88), Gouverneur van sijn Soon d'oogen uytgestoocken" opp. page 262, "Turcksche Slaverny en Gevanckenis" opp. page 342 and "Allerley Asiatische Straffen" opp. page 388; in part 4 "Aenwysingh waer nae de Boeckbinders sich hebben te reguleeren in de Plaetsgeving der figueren" (2 p.) and the print "Guychelaers en Bootsemaeckers" is misbound opp. page 904 instead of opp. page 894.
