Minimal damage at the headcap and at three corners of the binding, upper margin a bit shaved (never in the text), a fine copy. Belgica Typographica n°620, Graesse II, 154, not in Adams. USTC 5924. French translation of ''Historia Confessionis Augustanae'' first published in Rostock in 1576. This work includes many texts on the history and the organisation of the Reformation by Luther, Melanchton, Erasmus, etc. . David Chytreus (or Chytraeus)(1530-1600) studied in Tübingen and in Wittenberg with Melanchton. His real name was Kochhafe. He became professor at Rostock university and was also involved in the foundation of the Helmstedt university. This edition, published in Antwerp during the short period (1581-1585) when the reformists were in control of the town, is very rare. In 1585 the town was besieged and taken by the catholic Spanish troops. All protestants fled and the ensuing counter-reformation wiped out nearly all traces of protestantism. The first edition of this text was in Latin (1578). The translator Luc Le Cop was a Savoyard living in Antwerp.
