Adriaan Schoonebeek was a 17^th-century Dutch historian who is best remembered for his treatise on the history of chivalry and knighthood. ‘History of Military Orders and Chivalry’ is undoubtedly one of the best works on the subject from the 17^th-century, mostly because of the exquisite full-page engravings throughout. This 1688 edition is no exception – it features views of knights in full costume, battle scenes, and horses. This work discusses some of the following: Ursuline virgins, Life of Saint Marcellus, Saint Agnes, and many more!
