These five large engravings illustrate several stories in the Scriptures. The engravings for the Historiae Sacrae Veteris & Novi Testamenti were originally engraved by Pieter Schut based on the famous series of Bible illustrations by Matthias Merian. The copperplates went through a number of publishers' hands, finally being republished with De Wit's imprint in the early part of the 18th century by Reinier and Josua Ottens.
