Description
autheurs nagelaten schriften. Amsterdam, Jan ten Hoorn, 1699, in-12, [8 (dont titre-front. et titre)] p., portrait, 712-[12] p., plein vélin postérieur (mouill. et bruniss. marg., petit trou avec perte de qq. lettres au f. 697/698). The book is devoted to the best and most glorious acts of great men from classical history, not only of emperors and marshals, but also of philosophers and artists. Thus, the book combined the two elements most valued at the time to educate children, examples of great men and proverbs. Franciscus Heerman (1610-ca1670), was born in Friesland, studied at Wittenberg in Germany, and afterwards worked as a lawyer in Amsterdam. His book was first published at Amsterdam in 1634 and was numerous times republished.
