1st Latin Blaeu edition (1st Italian 1567), offering the reader an eloquent description of the 16th-c. towns in the Low Countries. Reinier Telle (1558-1619) translated and updated the text of the Italian 1588 Plantin edition. This edition has, for the first time, a description on Gouda included. With the engr. title and 96 engr. reprinted from Blaeu's Dutch 1612 edition. All plates mentioned in the "Index" are present, except for the pl. of Brabant (Guicc. Ill. 2), Lochem (Guicc. Ill. 25) and "Domus Trutinae publicae" (Guicc. Ill. 46). Also incl. are the plans of Rheinberg (Guicc. Ill. 26) and Amsterdam Beurs (Guicc. Ill. 46) by J.C. Visscher (1612) which are rarely present.
