First edition
of this work in which Erastus (1524?-1583) refutes the theories of alchimists and
physicians on the “Aurum potabile”, and more particularly the ones of Paracelsus (1493-1541).
Erastus, or his real name Thomas Lieber, was a doctor and professor of medicine at Bale Uni-
versity and an ardent opponent to alchimy and to Paracelsus. Instead of being placed in the
beginning, this copy is followed by the “Iudicium [...] cometarum [...]”, a treatise on the comets
and their “veris fundamentis & natura principiis” (cfr title-page).

Principal work of Bartholomeo Sacchi de Platina known as “Il Platina” (1421-1481), Italian
scholar and librarian of the Vatican. First published in 1479, this history of popes was
completed and revised by several authors like the Augustinian hermit Onofrio Panvinio
(1530-1568) who gave this edition and wrote the ecclesiastical timeline in the second
part. Followed by two treatises of Panvinio (on the burial rites among early Christians and
religious feasts celebrated in Rome) and an explanatory index. The third part of this work is
composed of other opuscula by Platina as “De Falso & Vero bono, dialogi”, “Contra amores”,
“De vera nobilitate”, etc. Vignette of Maternus Cholinus on title-page ; one historiated initial
letter at the dedication.

Eerste uitgave
van de publicatie van de besluiten van de godsdienstvrede die in 1579 werd
ingesteld door aartshertog Mathias, de Prins van Oranje en de Staten-Generaal om de
spanningen te temperen tussen de katholieken en protestanten in de stad Antwerpen.
Geïllustreerd met het stadswapen op de titel. Een incident tussen calvinisten en katholieken
zorgde voor een versnelde implementatie van de besluiten alsook voor een gedetailleerder
akkoord betreffende de relaties tussen calvinisten en katholieken (zie onder).
