Second and Best Issue of the most complete edition of this detailed history of the author's homeland. The second part, consisting of three divisions, is devoted to a chorographical description of Friesland and an examination of its civil and religious constitution. The work had been previously published a number of times, beginning in 1596, but here the text is greatly expanded, handsomely printed in folio, and double-page maps and a plate have been added. The first issue did not contain the plates and the text did not include the critique, index, and other textual matter. The maps and plans by N.Geilkerkius include a map of the region and fine city plans for Leeuwerden, Franeker, Harlingen, Bolsward, Sneek, Worcum (half-page), Dockum, Staveren, Sloten (half-page), Groningen, and Emdan.
