About This Item
Each section of the volume includes a finely engraved half-page portrait (82 in all) as well as a genealogy. A veritable who's who of Christianity, the book focuses on the major European monarchs; German, Austrian and Italian nobles; dignitaries; Burgundian dukes; and generals, both contemporary and historic. These include Cesare Borgia, Alessandro Farnese, William of Orange, Cosimo I de' Medici, Edward Prince of Wales, and Jeanne d'Arc.
Of special interest are the illustrations from such important New World figures as Montezuma, King of Mexico; Atahualpa, King of Peru; Hernán Cortés; Francisco Pizarro; Ferdinando Magellan; and Amerigo Vespucci.
The book contains a complete printed index in the rear as well as two handwritten indices of some of the more famous people. The first, in English, is on the first paste down. The second, in German, is on the recto of the first free endpaper.
Some water staining throughout. A so-called book worm has caused some damage on the outside margin of a few pages, not affecting text.
Overall, a good, sturdy copy.
