Editio princeps of these 3 late medieval chronicles of the Low Countries. They're all edited by Franciscus Sweertius (1567-1629): the chronicle of ""Holland"" is written by Jan Gerbrantszoon van Leyden and R. Snoy, and the ""Flanders"" chronicle by Aegidius de Roya. The 4th title announced on the title-page is not present and was probably never published
