Possibly the most extensive and detailed topographical work of the era.Menso Alting (1617-1678) hailed from a family of reformed theologians and he was the son of the German professor of theology and rector of the University of Groningen Heinrich Alting. After his studies he became secretary and functionary at Selwerd and later judge at Sappemeer and eventually mayor of Groningen between 1686 and 1712. The engraved maps are the work of Jan and Caspar Luyken and Jan Goeree.
