Woodcut vignette on title, woodcut initials.

The STCN and CC only mention three copies (Tilburg-UB, The Hague-RL and London-BL). The city was besieged by the Spanish Marquis Ambrosio Spinola from 18 July until 30 October 1622. The siege was ended by Prince Maurits of Orange. In 1623 the original Dutch edition appeared with the same imprint. After the title with the 'Octroy' on its verso, dated Middelburg, 14 Septerber 1623, follow the dedication to the States General and Prince Maurits, signed by the three ministers on p. (3-6), and the 10 laudatory poems by A. Hofferus, 'J.D.R.', Lud. à Kinschot, and Abraham Merius. The text is on p. 1-281, followed by lists of names of the protagonists during the siege, including the magistrate of Bergen op Zoom and the commanding officers of both armies (p. (1-10). The last page contains the errata. In 1867 Charles L.A. Campan has edited a new edition of the French text with an extensive introduction and notes. Very fine copy.
