'Descriptio publicæ gratulationis, spectaculorum & ludorum, in aduentu ... Ernesti archiducis Austriæ ducis Burgundiæ ... anno ... (1594) decimo octauo Kal. Iulias alijsque diebus Antuerpiæ editorum. Cum carmine Panegyrico ... Auctore Ioanne Bochio ...' This is the original MS., with a large number of elaborate coloured views of monuments, places, and people in Antwerp, as well as full descriptions, and two general views of the city (one from a distance, one a bird's eye plan).
