Title:

CHRONICLES OF FLANDERS, GERMANY, THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE AND NORTH AFRICA (MAGHREB) 1509-1667; late 17th cent. Italian. Copy. Imperfect. Short chronicles relating historical and religious events of the countries. Notably the chronicle of the Ottoman Empire does not mention the battle of Lepanto for the year 1571. The volume was possibly part of a series, as suggested by the comment (f. 44) 'vedi Istoria Italiana 1515+'. The title (f. ii) 'Storia della Fiandra Germania Ottomano Barbaria Dall'anno 1500 fino 1670 circa', was added by a later hand. The text is divided into four books, each numbered with a roman numeral 'I-IV' at the beginning by a later hand. Books 2-4 are also marked at the beginning by three bookmarks as small paper slips glued onto the verso of preceding blank leaf. Notabilia and historical dates singled out in margins. Old shelfmark 'No. 55' in black ink in top of f. ii. Armorial bookplate of the 5th Earl of Guilford with shelfmark 'L/21/A' (front pastedown). '521' in pencil in top left corner of f. i verso.
