Several include translations of the treaties. These documents represent some of the founding documents of the Dutch Republic along with assorted political documents and memorabilia of the Eighty Years War.With library stamp on the title-page and some occasional spots. Very good copy.l Myers, Manual of collections of treaties 1433a (doesn't distinguish eds.); STCN (2 copies); cf. Asher 176-180.
