1641 FLANDERS 1^ed Seals of Flemish Royals Charles V HRE Burges Belgium Wree RARE

A rare 17^th-century history of the heraldry of Flanders! Published in 1641, Oliver de Wree’s “Seals of the Flanders Courts” is one of the best works of its kind offering thorough descriptions and truly remarkable views of coins and medals of royal and noble Flemish families, particularly those from Antwerp, Bruges, and Ghent. Notable names include Robert I the Frisian, William Clito, Baldwin I of Constantinople, Baldwin V Debonnaire, and perhaps most importantly Charles the Good, Philip I the Fair, and Charles V Holy Roman Emperor.

This 1641 first French edition was translated out of the original Lati by Lambertus Vossius and contains impressive engravings of Flemish coats-of-arms on each of the coins.
