Catalogue Note
First edition. One of a number of commercial publications, masquerading as semi-official documents, describing the festivities during the visit of Christian IV, brother-in-law of James I, to London. The word Renowmed in the title is not a misspelling, but a learned allusion original to the French antecedent, renommé. Scarce.
