Rare 2nd (1st Antwerp) ed. of Claude de Seyssel’s French trsl. of Eusebius’ chronological church
history, 1st published by G. Tory in Paris (1532). The trsl. is based on Rufinus’s Latin rendering of
401 A.D. Printed in bastarda (Vervliet BA, B2 en B5), all thought to have been cut by De Keyser
himself. The 2 larger types as well as the midddle size one tought to be used only from 1534 on, make
their 1st appearance in the present book. Title within woodcut border with De Keyser’s printer’s
device. With 10 woodcut decorated initials + about 10 repeats (2 gothic and 2 roman series).
Interesting binding with on each cover the same panel: the inner one is an acorn cresting panel
with 4 1/2 acrons on each side and flowers not attached to them, the outer one had a bird centred
at the head and foot flanked by foliage, incl. the corners, 2 heads in profile on each sideflanked by
ornaments. The central panel resembles those cited in Foot, Goldschmidt, Oldham, all dated c.
1527-34, but the outer panels differ greatly. Ownership entry “SGS MGS/H. Spanofsky” dated 1555
and “Christ. Tenngler zum Rampblsperg und Schaltenstain” (Bavaria) dated 1563.
