Volker Riepenhausen

Rare 18th-century historical book describing a real military event
from the early 17th century, connected to the Eighty Years’ War
in the Low Countries.

Title:
Den Slagh van Leckerbetjen teghens den Heere van Breauté

Place and year of publication:
Mechelen, J. F. Vander Elst, 1772

Language:
Dutch and French

Historical background:
The book relates to an armed confrontation that took place on
5 February 1600 at the Vughter-Heide, near ’s-Hertogenbosch,
during the Eighty Years’ War between the Dutch provinces
and the Spanish Crown.

Description:
This publication is a documentary-historical compilation containing:
– a detailed account of the battle;
– official witness depositions;
– a legal examination of the death of Seigneur de Breauté;
– French texts with Dutch translations;
– a later analytical and moral interpretation of the events.

Of particular importance is the emphasis on:
– the death of de Breauté after his capture, rather than in combat;
– possible violations of the laws of war;
– the tension between military honour, political authority and justice.

Although printed in 1772, the work is based on earlier 17th-century sources
and preserves the structure of a judicial and documentary dossier.

Condition:
Good condition for an 18th-century book.
Complete with all pages present, text fully legible.
Later binding (likely 19th century), solid and well preserved.
Natural age-related toning.

Rarity:
Such historical and legal publications are uncommon on the open market.
The 1772 edition is valued as an important secondary source
for military and legal history of the Low Countries.

Recommended for:
– collectors of antiquarian books;
– military and legal historians;
– institutional and private libraries;
– specialists in the Eighty Years’ War.

Authenticity guaranteed.
