Bellet, 1614.Vellum binding. (36),560,(320) pp.; 29.5x21 cm. With engraved title page and author's coat of arms by Guillaume du Tielt. (The spine shows slight damage, and some labels have been removed. Top edge with stain, paper slightly affected. There is a small piece missing from the engraved title page, and a few notes can be found on the title pages. The paper has a slightly browned tint, with some pages more affected than others. Some pages may be a bit challenging to read due to the thinness of the paper, which allows text from the other side to shine through) Nevertheless, the book is still in very good condition. Please refer to the attached pictures for more details.
     - The author attempts in this work to prove that the language and origin of the Flemish people are much older than those of the Greeks and Romans. Through a curious and peculiar etymology, he aims to demonstrate that the ancient peoples spoke the Celtic language (German and Flemish), and even Adam and Eve spoke Flemish. The work consists of a Latin introduction, 560 pages of Dutch text, and 2 "originem indices" (geographicus and miscellus) with Latin and Flemish keywords spanning 320 pages.
