Contemporary parchment bindings with spine labels and contemporary leather bindings with spine labels and gilt spines (index volume). NDB 16, 651f – Stintzing/Landsberg III/1, 251 – Wegele 587. - The most significant source work on the Peace of Westphalia by the archivist trained in Halle, “whose vast collections of documents can claim absolute reliability.” (Stintzing/Landsberg). Meiern initially served the Margrave of Bayreuth, then the Elector of Hanover. In both positions, he had unrestricted access to the archives. “Beginning in 1734, he published the *Acta Pacis Westphalicae* in 50 volumes, in which he linked the sources with his own commentary—a pioneering achievement in document-based imperial history. Meier’s document publications served as a foundation for many constitutional and imperial law scholars of the Old Empire, such as J. J. Moser and J. S. Pütter, and remain valuable to this day.” (NDB). - With the “Universal Register of the Six Parts of the Westphalian Peace Treaties and History” by J. L. Walther. - Parchment volumes partly stained and slightly dusty; frontispiece old and stamped; first page and 2 copperplate engravings in Volume 1 have brown spots on the top edge; otherwise a very good and clean copy. *
