It contains, like Hennings great work, genealogies of all the great and noble families of Europe, but the compact form into which all is digested makes it one of the most useful books in the historical library. 14501 HENNINGES, Tueatrrum GENEALOGICUM ostentans omnes omnium etatum Familias Monarcharum, Regum, Ducum, Marchionum, Principum, Comitum, atque illustrium Heroum et Heroinarum, item Philosophorum, Oratorum, Historicorum, a condito mundo usque ad hec nostra tempora, 7 vols. bound in 5, folio, many cuts of Coats of Arms, veau fauve, a beautiful copy, Magd. 1598 Distinct portions of this valuable work are allotted to the genealogies of the principal families of England and Scotland ; it is the first book that was ever published on the subject. ‘Ce grand ouvrage d’Henninges sur les généalogies est regardé comme un des plus savyans et un des plus achevés parmi ceux qui ont été mis au jour sur cette partie. Tl est non seulement remarquable par les dissertations intéressantes qu *il renferme, mais encore par la vérité qui les caractérise. II est difficile d’en trouver des exemplaires complets ; et quand on est parvenu a rassembler toutes les parties qui les composent, c’est un ouvrage qui devient alors précieux.”—De Bure. The extreme rarity of an entire set results from the historical fact that many copies of the work were destroyed when -Magdeburgh was sacked by Count Tilly. 144.96
