Nebehay/Wagner 464. - Lipperheide Ebd 1. - Nitsche/Stender 482. - Third and last edition of the famous work, first published in 1602. Extensive contemporary chronic of the Ottoman Wars, with views of all major battle sites, mainly from a bird's eye perspective. The coppers partly carry the monogram LS, presumably for the artist Lucas Schnitzler (cf. Nebehay/W.). The book also contains portraits of the warlords involved on both sides. This copy contains additional portrait plates in comparison with Nebehay/W. 9. "Der 1. Teil enthält die von Meyer bearbeitete Darstellung des Ortelius über die Geschichte Ungarns von 1395 bis 1607.
