Bound with: “J. van Vondels Hekeldichten, met aentekeningen, Uit ‘s Dichters mont opgeschreven. t’ Amersfoort, By Pieter Braakman, 1707” and “Vertroosting Voor de Onnozele en bedroefde Ingezetenen Van Hollandt, over de doodt van zyn Hoogheit Prins Willem den II.”

With his Palamedes, Vondel intended to criticize the death (or rather political murder) of Oldenbarnevelt. Since this was a dangerous subject, Vondel explored various antique sources to turn into an allegory. He finally turned to the classical scholar and historian Johannes Meursius (1579 – 1639) for help.

With several portrait engravings and 1 (of 2) fold-out plate.
