Description
8vo, cont. overl. vellum, flat spine, [2]-490-[4] pp. (some quires browning). Very good copy. Uncommon second edition (1st Douai 1587) of this historical standard work by the historian F. Vander Haer (or Haraeus; 1547-1634) on the beginning of the revolt in the Low Countries against Spain, known as the "Eighty Year's War". This impartial cont. description of Holland's struggle for independence is based on eyewitness accounts and own experiences of the author, born from an Utrecht noble family. He became a clergyman, was appointed professor of theology at Louvain and later lived as a canon at Douai.
