"... [the plates represent the chapelle ardente erected in the nave of Sainte Gudule in Brussels, and all the costumes of the figures who took part in this magnificent ceremony". The work was published in 1623. Some of the copies published in 1729 have an additional plate, "lit de parade de l'infante Isabelle", engraved in 1634 and unnumbered, which is placed in our copy between plates 44 and 46, as plate 45 does not exist. The accompanying essay is by Hendrik van de Putte (1574-1646), known in Latin as Erycius Puteanus, historiographer to the King of Spain. It is printed on two columns in French, Latin, Spanish and Flemish.
Brunet II, 1379.
