Cfr. ill. € 11000/15000 Probably the finest copy on the market of the famous "Divisiekroniek" (named after its 3 parts) by the early Dutch humanist Cornelius Aurelius (1460-1531). This extensive survey of the early history of Holland, Zeeland and Frisia until 1517 was a decisive influence on later descriptions of medieval Holland. The 1530 supplement was taken from Doesborch's "Cronike van Brabant, Vlaenderen, Hollant, Zeelant", published simultaneously (June 1530). Illustrations : I: 243 woodcut illustrations incl. half-page one on titlepage and full-page one on F6r. As usual without the world map (present in only 2 of the 74 copies recorded: Groningen and Nijmegen). Title printed in red and black. Text printed in 2 columns. II: Large woodcut portrait of Charles V on titlepage. With the often lacking double-page woodcut illustration of the Siege of Vienna. Bookplates of J.W. Six and Paul Menso. Ref. I : NK 614 (= 613 + "vervolg"). K. Tilmans, Historiography and humanism (1992) pp. 289-323 (ext. study listing all copies recorded - not clear if the present copy was included). Leiden imprints p. 50. Adams A-2253. Machiels C-701 + C-702. STCDutch (BL London) p. 97.
