SANDERUS, Antonius (1586-1664). Chorographia sacra Brabantiae sive Celebrium aliquot in ea provincia ecclesiarum et coenobiorum descriptio. Brussels: Vleugaert, 1659-1660.
Scarce first edition of Sanderus' main work in original vellum binding. This first volume was published in parts by different printers at different times, and consequently no two copies are the same: "on ne rencontre pas deux exemplaires pareils sous le rapport des pieces qu'ils contiennent et de l'ordre suivi pour la reliure" (Biblioteca Belgica, V, 49). A second volume was published in 1663 but almost no copies survived the bombing of Brussels in 1695. The present specimen appears to have had a double-page engraving in part 3 cancelled (H1 on different leaves, H2 not present but correct catchwords).
23 part in one volume, Folio, (447 x 280mm). General title page printed in red and black and 23 title-pages in black for each part, 23 double-page engraved plates (some with text on verso) with views, 1 double-page map, 6 plates with views of 12 castles, a single plate and several engravings in the text (browning, lower outer corner of title repaired). Dutch vellum binding with central gilt arabesque and armillary sphere to centre of the boards, small floral corner-pieces, spine gilt. Provenance: Bibliotheca B.M. de Igniaco; Jules-Jean-Baptiste-Fran?ois Chardebeuf, comte de Pradel (small ink stamp to title-page). (1
