1601 Holland & Batavia 1^ed PLANTIN Press Janus Dousa Netherlands ROME Caligula

Janus Dousa was a 16^th-century Dutch historian who is primarily remembered for being the archivist at Leiden University. While there, Dousa wrote one of his best and most authoritative works – “Annals of Batavia and Holland”. This work proved invaluable even though it was written as historical prose instead of a chronological history. This 1601 first edition is rare and valuable and should be considered one of the best works of the history of the Netherlands and Batavia including ancient Roman rule in Northern Europe!
