"Vincenzo Maria Coronelli visits Nijmegen. He tells about the former university, which he said had good professors and a nice building with sculptures of the apostles. He comments on the way people of different denominations profess their religion, in particular the Catholics. He also visits the medal and antiquity collection ('museo') of Johannes Smetius and mentions Smetius' publications. He refers to the Eighty Years' War and a medal struck on the occasion of the capture of the city by the Dutch in 1591, as well as to the recent Treaty of Nijmegen (1678) with the French. Lastly, he describes the City Hall, in particular the portrait gallery with portraits of the men who signed the treaty."
