Theatrum Europaeum

Post by Adebar »

The Theatrum Europaeum "was a journal on the history of the German-speaking lands by Matthäus Merian, published between 1633 and 1738 in 21 quarto volumes" (Wiki) and is a great historical source for our epoch of interest, especially Merian's depictions of the TYW battles.

The University of Augsburg has published the whole work:

Here are lists of all copper engravings:
