First edition of the first complete, topographical and historical, History of Gelderland in Dutch, by Arend van Slichtenhorst (ca. 1615-1657), who studied in Leyden and became a laywer in his native city Arnhem. As acknowledged on the title, the work was based upon, and partly a translation of Pontanus' Latin Historiae Gelricae, published in 1639, but Slichtenhorst thoroughly revised, corrected and much enlarged the Latin original. The plates, designed by Nicolaas van Geelkerken,  also partly had been used in the Pontanus and are here present in a somewhat reduced format. The large folding general map comes from the Atlas Maior by Willem Blaeu, bearing the publisher's adress.

Good copy, of an important, fine illustrated work.-(Binding with some minor imperfections).
