Second edition ( first Plantin edition) of the commentary of Jerome Nadal ( Natalis ) with the bible illustrations by the Wierickx brothers. The first edition of this suite of engravings , a real masterpiece of Flemish bookillustration in the 16th century, appeared anonymously in Antwerp in 1593 and without the text. It was printed by Nutius. The publishers were the Antwerp Jesuits **. An explanatory text by Natalis together with the plates was published one year after the suite . (in 1594).
