Engraved title by Abraham de Bruyn after Crispin van den Broeck (small hole affecting one letter), 3 engraved double-page maps including a double hemisphere world map (Shirley 125) and maps of Israel and Canaan, 2 double-page engraved plates (plan and view of the Temple of Jerusalem), 7 full-page engravings and 81 smaller engravings in the text, a few repeated, by Jan Wiericx, Jan de Sadeler, and A. de Bruyn after Crispin van den Broeck and Peter van der Borcht, woodcut initials and head- and tail-pieces.

Provenance: Gaignat (note at front, sold Paris 1769) -- Payne (note at front) -- Michael Wodhull, 1740-1816 (note and purchase date 2 June 1770 on front flyleaf) sold Sotheby's London, 12 January 1886, lot 395. -- Bement -- Estelle Doheny (morocco bookplate; purchased from A.S.W. Rosenbach, Philadelphia, 27 June 1941) -- donated to SMS 1941.
VERY FINE COPY OF ONE OF "THE MOST IMPRESSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL EDITIONS OF THE PLANTIN PRESS. It is the result of a rather curious publishing-adventure: realized with the financial help of the Spanish King at a moment when Plantin was considered by many to be a follower of the rebels, and... lived in rebel-held country and printed many ordinances and decrees decrying Philip II and his partisans" (Voet, p. 367). The 5 double-page and 7 full-page engravings were originally published in the Polyglot Bible (1571), and 40 of the smaller engravings were also used in the quarto edition of Arias Montanus, Humanae Salutis Monumenta, ca 1583. Adams B-1089; Brunet I, 877; Darlow & Moule 6173 note; Voet 690. WITH A DISTINGUISHED PROVENANCE.
