The second (Heda) and third (Hortensius) volumes mentioned on the engraved, general title both have their own letterpress title pages with the Utrecht address of Jan Everdsen van Doorn and date 1642. In 1612 a first print of the combined edition of the so-called "Heda en Beka", with notes by Bernardus Furmerius, appeared in Franeker. Our edition with notes by Arnoldus Buchelius (1565-1641) is a corrected, extended edition with modernised Latin. Fine edition of the medieval chronicle of the Northern Netherlands by Johannes de Beka (14th century) with appendix by Suffridus Petri (1527-1597) and the history of the bishops of Utrecht by Wilhelmus Heda (ca. 1460-1525). Followed by the work of historian Lambertus Hortensius van Montfoort (1500-1574), the first edition of which appeared in 1546.
