Antwerp, Ex officina M. Nutii, 1598 sm. 4to, cont. overl. vellum, flat spine, [22-2 bl.]-751-[24] pp. Very good copy. 1st and only separate ed. of this important history of Burgundy and esp. of the Low Countries until 1565, published as a continuation of Heuterus' "Rerum Belgicarum" (Antwerp 1583), which covers the period until c. 1480.
