First edition of this interesting work giving genealogical information on the nobility of Brabant. Ghellinck Vaernewijck ascribes this work to J. Van den Leene (1654-1742) or Plaetsaert. No passages expurgated, rare according to de Theux: "la censure y fit beaucoup de corrections sur la plainte des familles et les ex. non châtrés sont assez rares".
