Het Amsterdamsch Hoerdom 1681

Don't let the title of this book mislead you. This anonimous book from 1681 gives a detailed and very important historical discription of pubs inns and dance-rooms in Amsterdam during the 17th century. It also gives a wealth of information on drinks and alcohol consumption prices and measures. It includes anecdotes on musicians and other people and life during the 17th century. Prostitution is just a minor aspect of the book. The book was also published in French and German.
