Willems 313; Palau 129562 (First edition as Sabin 38560) Written by Joannes de Leit, the director of the Dutch West India Company nine years after his appointment, Hispania sive de regis Hispaniae Regnis et opibus Commentarius (1629) offers a detailed examination of the Spanish monarchy’s territorial holdings, economic resources, and political influence during the early 17th century, with particular attention to its vast territorial empire—including its holdings in the New World. Printed by the important Elzevir press in Leiden, the work reflects contemporary European perspectives on Spain’s role as a dominant global power.
