Manuscript on paper of Johannes Baers, Lamentationes Ieremiae carmine elegiaco redditae. With a Dedicatory epistle to Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury (c. 1563-1612), secretary of state of Queen Elizabeth
Description:
Iohannes Baers (Baersius), born in Ghent 1580, d. 1653, studied theology in Leiden, was minister in various places in the Northern Netherlands, was 1629 in Pernambuco (Brasil) and in 1632 back in the Netherlands minister in Soest.
