107. Giles Sadeler.

Nephew to John and Raphael was the best Engraver of them all, though they are not without their due praise, inso∣much that he was esteemed worthy to be Eugraver to three of the German Emperors successively, to wit, Rodolphus, Mat∣thias, and Ferdinand the Second, and was not only an incom∣parable Graver, but a very good Painter, oftentimes Design∣ing and drawing to the life with his Pencil, several things which he afterwards engraved. He lived at Prague in Bohemia, and there died, Anno Dom. 1629.
