‎The rare Dutch translation of ""Itinerarium Hispaniae"" (Ulm, 1637), Zeiller's account of Spain and Portugal. This present Dutch translation has been extended with ""(…) een korte Reys-beschryvinghe aller Landen, buyten Spanjen geleegen, en onder deese groote Monarchie behoorende"". This part of the book (pp. 492-641) deals with the Spanish possessions in America (not present in the original German or Latin translation that appeared with the same publisher in 1656). Martin Zeiler (1589-1661), a German geographer and prolific author, is best know for his contributions to Matthaeus Merian's Topographia Germaniae. Sabin 106296‎
