[1617]
€1.700 - €2.000

DUTCH text in gothic script in two columns. Age-toned, a few pale waterstains. On page 675 a view of Bruges instead on Mons, this is a known variant. Contemporary vellum binding, soiled

The importance of Guicciardini's work as one of the major historical sources for the history of The Netherlands needs no further comment, nor the beauty of the work as illustrated book, reflecting the emerging self-confidence of the young republic at the beginning of its Golden Age.
