2 volumes bound as 1. First and only edition, posthumously published, of Menso Alting the younger's description of the Low Countries. The work consists of two parts, the first part treating the Low Countries in antiquity according to classical authors, with finely engraved maps of the area and engravings of relics of antique culture such as inscriptions and tombstones, and in an appendix a comment on the Ptolemean map of greater Germany (from the Rhein to the Vistula in Poland) with map. The second part deals with the Medieval period, describing the places in alphabetical order and also with fine engraved maps, a table and indexes. Possibly the most extensive and detailed topographical work of the era.Menso Alting (1617-1678) hailed from a family of reformed theologians and he was the son of the German professor of theology and rector of the University of Groningen Heinrich Alting. After his studies he became secretary and functionary at Selwerd and later judge at Sappemeer and eventually mayor of Groningen between 1686 and 1712. The engraved maps are the work of Jan and Caspar Luyken and Jan Goeree.
