About This Item

Amsterdam: Joannes Brouwer and Jacob van Meurs, 1660. First Dutch edition.. Two volumes, 4to., full armorial vellum. Title pages printed in red & black; extra fully-engraved title pages. Vellum splitting along the front hinge of Volume 1, some old stains to the first couple of leaves of Volume 1; in general a clean and very good copy, the velllum bindings a bit sprung as usual. This book, a chronology of world history up to 1660, was first published in German, issued in eight volumes between 1629 and 1634; the first folio edition appeared in 1642. This Dutch edition of 1660 contains Illustrated title pages, full-page plates, and many fine engravings within the text. Although the decorative title pages indicate that the illustrations are by Jacob van Meurs [Met Schloone Koopere Plaaten verciert door Jacob Van Meurs], they are clearly copied from those by Merian which appeared in the original German edition. A handsome set. The engravings are dark and attractive, and are notable for their depiction of battles and other acts of savagery.
