The National synod of the Reformed churches of the Netherlands commissioned Philippe de Marnix to compile this work in June of 1578, but he seems not to have done more than assist in gathering material. The first two books (leaves 4-102) are a very free translation of Adam Henricpetri's "General Historien der aller namhafftigsten und fürnembsten Geschichten ..."

A French edition appeared in 1582 with title "Histoire des troubles et guerres civiles du Pays-Bas", & an

(cont.) English translation (STC 23945-46) in 1583 with title "A tragicall historie of the troubles and ciuile warres of the lowe countries."

Blok in Bijdragen voor vaderlandsche geschiedenis en oudheidkunde, 4th ser., v. 7, p. 195-207.
