| Note 1 | Francis, Duke of Anjou and Alençon, brother of King Henry III of France, played the card of the rebellion in order to become himself sovereign of the Netherlands. Frustrated in his expectations, he tried to turn the tide by ordering his army to take pawns, the most important being the city of Antwerp. The Antwerp citizens, however, reacted violently and the 'French Fury' of 17 January 1583 ended in a disaster for the French. In this pamphlet the magistrate of Antwerp gives its official version of the attack on the city. Contains: pages [3-14]: Text of the official declaration ('Thus done in college and ordered to be published in print', 25 January 1583, s. G. Martini); [15]: Note of the magistrate on the documents printed in appendix; [16-21]: Three letters in French (in roman type), with Dutch translation (in gothic type), namely the letter to the magistrate introducing two delegates of the Duke (17 January 1583), instruction to the city from the Duke (17 January 1583), letter of the Duke to lord de Temple, governor of Brussels (20 January 1583). |
| Note 2 | The text was reprinted (the same year ?) by Cornelis Claeszoon in Amsterdam (cf. Knuttel, no. 642). |
