Antwerp, 1584, Latin text edition. 370 x 495.
Finely coloured; light marginal age-toning, short centrefold split to top margin (repaired), otherwise a fine example.
Jacques Surhon surveyed Luxembourg for Charles V of Spain in 1551, shortly after Charles had taken the Duchy from the French (1544). However, because of the sensitive nature of the manuscript, it was not published immediately: only when Antwerp briefly came out from under Spanish control in 1579 did Ortelius feel able to engrave this version.
