This work was cencored and heavily revised after the 30 Year War. In this edition you find the magnificent folded copper from the battle at Lutzen, the portrait of the Swedish King Gustaf II Adolf and a copper depicting his death at the battle of Lutzen. The pagination is sometimes confusing due to this revision, but nothing is missing.
