[Friesland. Famous forgery] Chronyk en waaragtige beschrijvinge van Friesland,

Beginnende na de Schepping der Weereld, met den Jare 1070. En eindigende na de Geboorte Christi, met den Jare 1565. Eerst door Ockam Scharlensem zeer vlytelyk by een Getekend: en ten tweedemaal door Johannem Vlytarp, weder verbeterd en vernieuwd: gelyk ook ten derdemaal door Andream Cornelium Stavriensem, zeer neerstelyk en getrouwelyk geschied is. Leeuwarden, A. Ferwerda, 1742, third revised edition, (16),472,(16)p., contemporary vellum, 4to.

Hinges on inside slightly fragile, yet a very good copy. The first edition of this famous, typically humanist forgery appeared in 1580, a manuscript exists from 1578. The work is in reality entirely by the Harlingen organist Andreas Cornelius (who died in 1589) and thus dedicedly not "zeer neerstelyk ende getrouwelyk geschied". The work was rejected by contemporary Ubbo Emmius as entirely unreliable.
