Peter Meurer is the author of this series, because he's not on e-mail and I
know very well, I called him. He was on vacation and only today I reached
him. He confirmed what I already thought: No. 2 does NOT exist; the only
volumes of this series are 1 and 3.
For no. 2 was planned a facsimile of Jacob van Deventer's map of Gelderland
(1543), for several reasons publication failed. Recently a facsimile of this
map was published by C. Koeman in his _Gewestkaarten van de Nederlanden door
Jacob van Deventer, 1536-1545_ (Alphen aan den Rijn: Uitgeverij Canaletto,
1994).
