Printed text on the siege of Schenkenschanz, 1635. Eighty Years War (1568-1648).
This text appears to be incomplete; it takes the account of the siege down only to 23 October 1635. It does not apply to the map at RCIN 722093.a because it refers to letters, A-E which do not appear on RCIN 722093.a; however, letters A-G do appear on RCIN 722094.
