lisher mentioned on the first edition; New Hollstcin,
Maarten van Heemskerck, vol. 2, pp. 218-221, nos, 542-
545 as "probably [published] by Philips Galle." This
assumption is strengthened by the fact that the second and
third editions were produced by Galie's son and grandson
Theodoor and Johannes.

found in the Sckilder-boeck by Karel van Mander; cp.Van
Mander 1994, vol. l,pp. 236-247.Van Mander mentions
that the artist left Haarlem during the siege in 1572.The
Spaniards first surrounded the city on 11 December 1572.
the siege ended on July 13 of the following year after the
capitulation of the Haarlem authorities.

Herman Jansz. Muller and has no address of a publisher;
the second was issued by Philips Galle in Antwerp, but
bears no signature of an engraver. On Rauwert, see Bok

53. There are at least two drawings undoubtedly
intended for the Acts of the apostles which were not used
in any of the published editions: the above St. Peter freed
from prison and the Beheading of St, James(?), both dated
1573- Both drawings are in the collection of Museum
BoijmansVan Beunmgen. Cp. Hoetink 1961, pp. 24-25,
nos. 10-11. For unknown reasons - perhaps the drawings
were unsatisfactory or even not available to Galle at the
time - these two subjects were replaced by designs by
Stradanus in the second edition of 1582.
54. On the popularity of this particular theme in
Dutch art of the sixteenth and seventeenth century and
its possible connection to Calvinist opinions on baptism,
see Defoer 1977,pp. 21 -24. Galie's engraving is here repro­
duced in its second state, as published in the enlarged edi­

one drawing by Heemskerck; cp. note 36.The title page
