Antwerpen, Weduwe Jacob van Liesveldt, 1554.
Small in-8° : [80] lvs (lightly and uniformly browned throughout). 19th century binding : half green calf, guilt flat spine (slightly cropped).
ONLY COPY KNOWN of the 2nd (?) edition of this small Dutch cronicle based on the "Divisiekroniek" of Cornelius Aurelius (c. 1460- after 1523), augustine canon from Gouda and one of the earliest Dutch humanists also called the praeceptor of Erasme. Title with large woodcut vignette figuring the Holy Roman Emperror in armour on his horse.
The first folio-edition of the "Divisiekroniek" was published in Leiden in 1517.
Ours apparently is a reduced form of it, with a similar title and a continuation untill 1543 by Ellert de Veer (c. 1540-1599), pamphletist and historian in Amsterdam.
According to different bibliographies, only the editions of 1547 and 1562 from the press of the Widow of Jacob van Liesveldt are known. On the other hand Claes Adriaensz Mast published the same work in Leiden also in 1554.
