Ad 1: New edition of the earliest Dutch Chronicle, originally published at Gouda in 1478, now first published with the comments and documents for comparison by Petrus Scriverius, a celebrated Dutch philologer, poet and historian (1576-1660). The book is richly illustrated with the finely designed and engraved series of portraits of the Counts of Holland by Adriaen Jacobsz. Matham (1600-1660).
Ad 2: First edition and a rare Nymegen-imprint of a text book on the land of the Batavians, an ancient tribe who lived partly in the Dutchy of Gelre and partly in the County of Holland. Johan van Someren (1622-1676), Pensionary of the city of Nymegen, based his work on an impressive number of written sources, from  classical times to contemporary authors, a list of which is given in the preliminaries. With a beautiful engraved frontispiece by Salomon Saverij, famous Dutch etcher and engraver (1594-1678).
Ad 3: First edition of an account of the ancient geography and history of Westvriesland, that is the Northern part of Holland, North of Amsterdam, with concluding proof that the existence and extinction of a village called "Vroonen" is no more than a legend,  based on misinterpretation of ancient language, and that in fact  it is the same as the existing village St. Pancras. The book is illustrated with a map by I. Smit and plans both of ancient Vroonen and contemporary St. Pancras. Simon Eikelenberg (1663-1738) was a Dutch historian from Alkmaar who wrote several works about the northern part of Holland.
