1648 Dutch Wars Belgium Bello Belgico Strada Battles Habsburg Flanders Latin

Famiano Strada, a Jesuit professor of rhetoric, is chiefly remembered for his famous account of the Dutch War. ‘De Bello Belgico’ was Strada’s most famous work, a work in which Strada describes in detail the battles between Spanish troops of Parma and the Dutch armies under William of Orange.

This mid-17^th-century edition includes impressive full-page portrait engravings of prominent figures to the Dutch Wars – figures such as Philip II of Spain, Charles V, and Fernando Alvarez de Toledo Duke of Alba. This edition was dedicated to Cardinal Alessandro Farnese.
