RELIGIONS-VREDE, ou accord de religion, consenti et publié en Anvers le XIIme de Iuin MDLXXIX. Antwerp, L'imprimerie de Christofle Plantin, 1579. Small woodcut printer's vignette on title, (8) pp.

First Dutch and French editions of pamphlets announcing the "Religion's Peace" in order to eliminate the frictions between the Protestants and Catholics in the city of Antwerp. This Peace was executed between the Archduke Mathias, the Prince of Orange and the State-Council and accepted by the Antwerp magistrate on June 12th 1579. Plantin delivered 162 copies of this pamphlet (both Dutch and French) to the States-General on June 15th 1579. Another 200 copies were delivered to the military authorities of Antwerp. The proclamation of this peace was carried out earlier than was expected due to an incident between Catholics and protestants on May 28th 1579, in which Archduke Mathias was involved.

Good copies with ms. ownership's signature A.F. Van den Eynde, 1829 on inside front cover.
Ad 1: Voet IV, 1894 version B; Knuttel 456; ad 2: Voet IV, 1895; Knuttel 457.
