Imagines illustrissimæ Familiae Braheae. Comnburi possunt libri, monumenta perire, Nostra mori possunt, & tua scripta mori, Insita vivæ vim quasi vocis habet. Visingsborg, "Typis Celsis: Com: Reg: Drotz: Typographi Johannis Kankelii", 1673. fol. Title page, 1 sheet. Woodcut with coat of arms, pp. 2-41, 1 folding typographical plate, 2 unnum. Leaves. 1 large, multi-folded engraved family tree, 1 multi-folded engraved view of a tomb and 9 engraved, firmly pasted engraved portraits. Modern polished calf binding on five bands with gilt-stamped spine label and some gilt to spine and cover, gilt-stamped standing and inner edge borders. Collijn, Sveriges Bibliografi 1600-Talet, 1017 (without reference to the illustrations). Apparently extremely rare genealogy of the famous Swedish noble family Brahe, created during the lifetime and probably commissioned by Per Brahe the Younger (1602-1680), Count of Visingsborg, since 1641 "Reichsdrost" of Sweden, i.e. highest state official. Visingsborg is located on the island of Visingsö in Lake Vättern in Småland, in the south of Sweden. Brahe had also installed a printing press in his castle; he recruited Johann Kankel from Wolgast, who had established himself in Stockholm in 1664 after training in Gdansk, as his printer. The print shop in Visingsborg was set up in 1666 and remained active for five years after Per Brahe's death. After Per Brahe's death, King Charles XI ceded the county of Visingsborg to the Crown. The copies of the print in Swedish national libraries make no reference to the engraved plates, which are included here. The portrait plates show five male and four female members of the House of Brahe. The large folding plate before shows the tomb of Birgur Brahe and his wife Ingiburgis in the cathedral of Upsala, with the two large Gisant figures, set in filigree Gothic architecture. The most significant image is the large "Arbor genealogica Brahea". In the center is the family tree, designed as a real tree, to which a large and very detailed map of the county of Visingsborg is attached. Some staining and browning throughout. The family tree with a fold hole. The illustration of the tomb with a fold hole and partly underlaid (with loss of image in the lower right corner. The engraved portraits in excellent, brilliant impressions. Ex-libris with coat of arms on the front inside cover.
