Lugduni Batavorvm [Leiden] : Ex officina Elzeviriana, 1629. 32mo (105 x 63 mm), contemporary vellum (very lightly marked), spine lettered in ink 'Gallia'; edges stained red; engraved title-page, pp. [xvi], 461, [1]; pages tanned, tear to one leaf (no loss of text), otherwise very good throughout; verso of front endpaper with old stamp of Biblioteca Trieste G.A. Leban. A scarce and desirable example of the Elzevier printing of Joannes de Laet's Gallia, a work on the geography and history of France, including descriptions of its cities and towns, and biographies of the French kings from the earliest times. It was one of numerous works published by Elzevier in the 1620s and 30s under the general title 'Respublica', many of which were compiled by Dutch geographer Joannes de Laet (1581-1649), a director of the Dutch West Indies Company. These imprints were essentially early travel guides to European countries or regions.
