Vorder geschiedenissen binnen Ierusalem 1646

"Vorder geschiedenissen binnen Ierusalem" is a 17th century print by Jan Philipsz Schabaelje. This particular page is a detailed and visually rich page from a book that depicts a large, ornate initial "G" and a column of text that reads "Vorder geschiedenissen binnen Ierusalem." The text is in Dutch and appears to be a section of historical narrative about Jerusalem, with details of the city's history and the surrounding context of the time. This print is an excellent example of the use of printing techniques in 17th century Netherlands. It is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
