Description: Den Haag, Instituut voor Nederlandse Geschiedenis, 2005. 630 pp. Col. & b./w. ills. Orig. hardcover (green cloth with gilt lettering on spine), d./j. 8vo. (Rijks Geschiedkundige Publicatien, Kleine Serie 102).The so-called Kattendijke chronicle was probably written in the years 1484-1493. This chronicle was until recently virtually unknown and has therefore remained unpublished. The chronicle offers a combination of a story about the history of Troy, a world history and a history of the Netherlands up to the time of Duchess Maria of Burgundy (1477-1481) and her husband, Duke, later Emperor Maximilian of Habsburg. The Kattendijkekroniek was possibly made for Yolande van Lalaing (1422-1497), wife of Reinoud II van Brederode (1415-1473). In 1614 it was acquired by Johan Huyssen van Kattendijke (1566-1634) and it remains in this family to this day. Hugo Huyssen van Kattendijke (1948-) gave it on permanent loan to the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in 2016. - Text in Dutch.
