With the dedicatory preface by Pufendorf's widow to Queen Hedwig Eleonore of Sweden. The jurist and historian Pufendorf (1632-1694) was appointed King of Sweden in 1677 by the successor of Charles X. Gustav, King Charles XI, as court historiographer and royal secretary in Stockholm, a position he held until 1688, after which Pufendorf moved to the Prussian court. Sweden reached its greatest expansion under Charles X Gustav. One of Charles X Gustav's greatest military deeds was his attack on Denmark across the icy Belt. Magnificently illustrated biography. The double-page fold-out plates show maps, bird's-eye views of towns and fortifications, depictions of battles and historical scenes such as coronations, etc. The two large panoramas show the siege of Copenhagen in September 1658, while the panorama of Stockholm, which is more than four meters wide, shows the funeral of Charles X Gustavus, who died in 1660. Gustav. A good copy. With the usual fingerstains and smudges, but hardly any foxing. Only a few old backed marginal tears, both in the text and in some plates. Worm mark in the white upper margin towards the end of the volume. Ownership inscription Fage Algreen-Ushing on the white flyleaf.
