HUNGARY. TREATIES, STATUTES, ETC.
Exemplar, Reconciliationis Cum Hungaris Factae 23 Junii, Anno 1606, nec-non Conditiones Pacis Turcicae.
Saros-Patak [Hungary]: Typis Illustrissimae Principis Excudebat Georgius Renius, 1653..
folio. pp. 1 p.l., 582. old vellum, overlapping fore-edges (recased, vellum soiled, ties wanting, 3 small library rubberstamps, some scattered foxing & browning). In June 1606 Archduke Matthias, in the name of the Emperor Rudolph II, concluded the Treaty of Vienna with the rebellious Hungarians by granting extensive concessions, and in November of the same year he concluded the truce of Zsitvatörök with the Sultan Ahmed I. "By the peace of Vienna, [Stephen] Bocskay obtained religious liberty and political autonomy, the restoration of all confiscated estates, the repeal of all unrighteous judgments and a complete retrospective amnesty for all the Magyars in royal Hungary, besides his own recognition as independent sovereign prince of the enlarged Transylvania. This treaty is remarkable as being the first constitutional compact between the ruling dynasty and the Hungarian nation. Almost equally important was the twenty years' truce of Zsitvatörök, negotiated by Bocskay between the emperor and the sultan, which established for the first time a working equilibrium between the three parts of Hungary, with a distinct political preponderance in favour of Transylvania.The emperor on the other hand, was freed from the humiliating annual tribute to the Porte on payment of a war indemnity of ?400,000.". (Encyc. Britan., 11th Edn.) The text of the two treaties (pp. 30) is followed by the articles of various Hungarian statutes and ordinances, dating from 1608 to 1649 (pp. 31-582). The BM copy contains further articles for 1659, not present here.

First Edition. An account of the reign of Christian III [1503-59], King of Denmark. Christian was proclaimed King in 1533 soon after the death of his father, Frederick I. A devoted Lutheran, he adopted severe measures to suppress the Catholic religion. Under his direction, a church ordinance based on the canons of Luther, Melanchthon and Bugenhagen, was promulgated in 1537, and in 1542, the position of the reformed Danish Church was consolidated by the Articles of Ribe. The increased revenue derived from the appropriation of Church property was a major factor in Denmark's emergence as the leading Scandinavian power during the latter part of Christian III's reign.
