We are presenting 20 large copper engraved genealogical trees of European ruler dynasties with beautiful town views at the lower picture margin.

All leaves are magnificently coloured and come out of the work „ Principum Christianorum Stemmata... nunc adiecto stemmate Othomanico...“ (Strasbourg, Heyden, 1627) by Antonio Albizzi.

The Italian jurist and genealogist Albizzi was born in Florence in 1547. Little is known of his life.

In 1576 he was in the service of Cardinal-Archduke Andreas of Austria. In 1585 he converted to Lutheranism. From 1608 on he spent the rest of his life in the Protestant Imperial City of Kempten (Bavaria), where he died in 1626.

His most famous work was Principum Christianorum Stemmata [first published in Augsburg 1612] which appeared in several Latin and German editions. It is an unusual collection of engravings showing the family trees of the leading royal and noble houses of Europe of the time, also including the genealogy of the Turkish Emperors. The depictions are beautifully decorated by floral elements, coats of arms, portraits and at the bottom with views of residence towns after Braun / Hogenberg or small maps of the residences.
