MAGNUS, Olaüs (1490-1557). Histoire des pays septentrionaus. Antwerp: Christophe Plantin, 1561.
Small 8° (168 x 94mm). Plantin device on title, 135 wood-engravings by Arnold Nicolai. (Lightly washed, residual waterstain at margin of title, a few other small stains, hole in margin of M4.) Later 19th-century red morocco, triple fillets round sides, panelled spine, gilt turn-ins and edges (spine faded, front cover scuffed). Provenance: S.A. Thompson Yates (ex libris).
FIRST FRENCH EDITION, again in the popular abbreviated version. It was reprinted in Paris for Martin le Jeune in the same year. Brunet deduces that Plantin was the translator from the contents of the dedicatory letter to Jaspard Schets. Brunet III, 1302; cf. Sorgeloos 34; not in Adams.
