In general internally fine. <br/><br/><em>Baronius's monumental work with its continuation by Bzovius up to the year 1565 hailed by Roman Catholic writers as the greatest history of the church ever written and Baronius hailed as the "father of ecclestical history" 1-12 dealt with Anno 1-1198 and volume13 -20 Anno 1198-1565."The Annales were first published between 1588 and 1607. This work functioned as an official response to the Lutheran Historia Ecclesiae Christi History of the Church of Christ. In that work the Magdeburg theologians surveyed the history of the Christian church in order to demonstrate how the Catholic Church represented the Antichrist and had deviated from the beliefs and practices of the early church. In turn the Annales fully supported the claims of the papacy to lead the unique true church."Before Baronius was appointed Librarian of the Vatican in 1597 he had access to material and sources in its archives that were previously unpublished or unused. He used these in the development of his work. Accordingly the documentation in Annales Ecclesiastici is considered by most as extremely useful and complete. Lord Acton called it "the greatest history of the Church ever written"."Graesse I 296. - Brunet I 662-631. </em> hardcover

Though the font is identical to that of the well described edition this is not a direct reprint - the present copy has a somewhat different spatial arrangement and contains many misprints for instance on the title-page "Vatterland" for "Vaterland" etc. not in the original. WorldCat describes it as : "Vermutlich in Leipzig bei David Fleischer gedruckt"; and the date is likely to be 1693 or close to it. -- Schonberg gives a comprehensive description of mining and of all kind of related practices such as prospecting underground surveying tunnel construction machinery flood control in mines washing of ore assaying smelting et. even administration and industrial relation. - The second part "Redens-arten" gives the terminology af mining in dictionary form. - Much rarer than the original: WorldCat gives only three locations: two in Denmark and one in Germany. <br/> <br/> David Fleischer (?) hardcover

The Orthellius family were originally from Augsburg a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1535 the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism. Following the death of Ortelius's father his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later moved to London. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain Philip II on the recommendation of Arias Montanus who vouched for his orthodoxy. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces; in southern western northern and eastern Germany e.g. 1560 15751576; France 15591560; England and Ireland 1576; and Italy 1578 and perhaps twice or thrice between 1550 and 1558. Beginning as a map-engraver in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He supplemented his income trading in books prints and maps and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. In 1560 however when travelling with Mercator to Trier Lorraine and Poitiers he seems to have been attracted largely by Mercator's influence towards the career of a scientific geographer.
