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-17th-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.
