Boxhorn, professor at the university of  Leyden, was a prolific writer, he was both nationally and  internationally held in high esteem as a scholar.
The engravings in the present work are by Tobias Fendt (ca.  1500-1576), a painter and engraver in Breslau, they were first  published in: Monumenta sepulcrorum cum epigraphis ingenio et doctrina in 1574, for which he received a privilege by  Maximilian II in 1575. In 1638 Boxhorn contributed the text to the 125 plates by Fendt and this work, titled: Monumenta Illustrorium Virorum et Elogia Cura ac Studio was published by Joann. Janssonius at Amsterdam.
The present enlarged edition contains 2 extra plates.

Very good copy, from the library of William Stirling Maxwell (with his bookplate plate on inside frontcover, and ms. note pasted in).
