1st ed., 1st issue
(with "in calce addita" on titlepage) of an early humanist history of Holland in Roman and
early medieval times, written by the reformed scholar G. Geldenhouwer (Nijmegen 1482 - Marburg 1542).
He was active at Louvain, partly as a corrector for Dirk Martens. There he became a friend of Fr. Cranevelt
and of Erasmus. Later he tried to connect Erasmus with the Reformation, but failed to do so. In 1517 the
Emperor Maximilian named Geldenhouwer "poeta laureatus" after Noviomagus had presented him a poem
during a visit to Tienen. Woodcut ill. on t.-p.
