(Joints partly split, some small defects to calf, a bit chafed, slightly browned/foxed in places).
Later, but fine edition of the Bello Belgico, in which the two decades are published together. It easily was the most popular history of the Dutch war of independence against Spain and still a rich and valuable source for the early period of the Eighty Years War.€ 200
