Rare edition of the so-called 'Divisiekroniek' by the canon Cornelius Aurelius (Cornelius of Gouda, ±1460 - after 1523), with the separately published 4th part ("Appendix"). He based his work upon the 'Chronicon Hollandiæ' by Johannes à Leydis who died after 1500. The first edition appeared in 1517 and received its name 'Divisiekroniek' because of the division in 32 parts. It remained a popular source for Dutch history up to the first half of the 18th c. The first part, by Aurelius, covers the period from the earliest times up to 1517. The second and third part were written by Ellert de Veer (Haitsma Mulier/ Van der Lem 483); the second part relates the events from 1516 up to 1591; the third part contains a more elaborate description of the period 1566-1590. - Haitsma Mulier/v.d. Lem 20a, 483b & 483c; De Wind, p. 112-113; Moes/Burger III, p. 243-247.€ 600
