First edition. An imposing, ornate work in Spanish about the life of Kaiser Leopold I, king of Hungary. The three volumes are decorated with 26 copperplates altogether, all finely worked out, large, full page compositions and battle-scenes. The plates were made by Jakob Müller and Johann Ulrich Krauss, after the drawings of A. Thelot and Johann Joseph Waldmann. On several plates there can be seen landscapes of Hungarian towns, and also the maps of Transylvania and Hungary. According to some bibliographies, the author was Constantino Roncaglia, but recent research shows it was the Spanish diplomat Gonzalve Miguel de Ponte who actually wrote the book. In contemporary repaired leather, spine gilt.
