The tail ornaments prove that the book was printed by Blaeu (Alphonse Willems, Les Elzevier, 1065). This book was published posthumously by Grotius' wife Maria van Reigensberg. It contains translations of texts from various philosophers on the question of fate. According to Francesca Iurlaro in Grotiana (Dec. 2019), this book "has, so far, received little scholarly attention, even though it provides us with an interesting insight into Grotius' philosophical interests".
