'Antiquitates illustrium gentum, Persarum, AEgyptiorum, Atheniensium, Lacedaemoniorum, Romanorum, Gallorum ...

Scope and Contents
The 'Antiquitates illustrium gentum...' begins on page 1. It is followed by extracts from Martin Del Rio, ‘Disquisitiones Magicae’ (page 302), Diodorus Siculus (page 310), Herodotus (page 386), and Tacitus, ‘Annals’ (page 406); all written in the same seventeenth-century hand, after 1645 (page 267), in France, probably in a religious - perhaps Jesuit - institution, to judge from the contents, and probably in the University of Paris, to judge from the praises of that university (page 269).
