A translation of: Gheyn, Jacob de. Wapen-handelinghe van roers, musquetten, en spiessen.

Title variant 2: dated 1608, but blank spaces now engraved with the arms of Maurice, Prince of Orange (shield with bugles and lions rampant); title in French ("Maniement d'armes d'arquebuses, mousquetz, et piques"); imprint "Imprimé a Amsterdam chez Robert de Badous .."; Latin dedication to Maurice ("Illustrissimo principi, maximo duci, Mauritio Nassauio .."), ending with "On les vend' ausi a Amsterdam chez H. Laurens". Variant 3: like variant 2, but lacking the words "On les vend' ..".

Pasted-on label variant 1: lacks the line "They are toe bye ..".
