1st ed., 1st issue
(with “in calce addita” in title) 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
. The work includes
long extracts from Tacitus as well as a Latin trsl. of part of Bk II of Jean Lemaire des Belges.
Woodcut ill. on title.
