On page 572 a view of Namur was planned but in the end not printed. As often without the maps of the provinces, which could be ordered separately. The (inferior) digitised copy available online (Lyon) also lacks the provincial maps. Our copy with ex libris of Gerhard Karl Jacobs on inside front board.
