Andr é (or Valerius Andreas or Walter Driessens, 1588-1650) was a scholar of antiquities, Hebrew studies and law, and professor at Leuven. His  Bibliotheca Belgica  is a monumental bio-bibliography of Dutch and Belgian authors in the arts, sciences and letters and their works in Latin, French and Flemish (these last often listed with Latinised titles). Prefaced by a topographical delineation of Belgium and an index of names absent in the first edition, it is a fundamental source for the bibliographic history of the early modern Low Countries, and the basis for Jean-François Foppens s  Bibliotheca Belgica  (1739).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANDRÉ, Valère","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57816143331663,"sku":"L2826","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1016\/2425\/0703\/files\/L2826-2.jpg?v=1781795169","url":"https:\/\/www.sokol.co.uk\/products\/andre-valere","provider":"Sokol Books Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
