EYTZINGER, Michael von. Novus ad Hispaniae et Hungariae reges ter maximos de Leone Belgico, eiusque topographica atque historica descriptione liber. Quinque partibus ... distinctus ... ab anno 1559 ad annum 1587 perpetuà narratione continuatus . Cologne: Gerard van Campen, 1588. 2° (267 x 183mm). Engraved architectural title with engraved portrait of the author on verso, 208 double-page engraved plates by Franz Hogenberg on numbered and paginated bifolia with text on versos, and 3 additional out-of-series plates, text and plates all mounted on guards. Two engraved calendars on verso of penultimate leaf. (Plates 1-88 and final bifolia with guards recently renewed, laminated repairs, most at margins, and mainly affecting first and final leaves, final few bifolia also waterstained, the 3 additional plates laid down.) 17th-century vellum, covers ruled in blind with central arabesque, the arabesque on front cover picked out in gilt and with hand-coloured [?]Dutch coat-of-arms within central oval, spine in six compartments with raised bands and red morocco lettering-piece (upper cover slightly bowed). A work famous in the history of the Netherlands, with battles and atrocities by the Spanish graphically-illustrated by Hogenberg. First published in 1583 with 112 plates, there were frequent reissues with augmentations of the text and in the number of plates. Graesse describes the 1588 edition as the last and rarest, although this may be a variant issue, having the imprint of van Campen on the colophon but not the date 1588 which Graesse calls for. The bifolia are numbered to 208, as called for on the title-page. There are 10 preliminary leaves, including the title, and the final numbered bifolium is followed by 4 final leaves headed 'Calendarium Belgicum,' the first two unpaginated, the next with page number following on from the numbered bifolia. Brunet I, 122; Graesse I, 49.
