Sure I'll help as best I can. When I studied history I happened to read a lot of old manuscripts. Try my best.

Can't make out signature. -1915


More tomorrow.

Ok, I also did a little work on the "cover" page with the large G at the top.

"1667. The largest Kessler triumph that added their name to Grimm lore was the stoppage of the (something) revolt of 1666."

I really need to try and get this image magnified. I can't make out much more from the one you posted.

I'll try some more tomorrow.

Blaeu family about 1600 were famous mapmakers a great job for a grimm.

Willem Janszoon Blaeu
https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1503/1503.08327.pdf
This article describes the life and work of Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638), who founded one of history’s greatest cartographic publishing firms in 1599. Mostly renowned as a cartographer, he also made terrestrial and celestial globes, various instruments such as quadrants, a planetarium and a tellurium. He invented mechanicaldevices for improving the technics of printing. As an astronomer, a former student of Tycho Brahe, Willem Blaeu made careful observations of a moon eclipse, he discovered a variable star now known as P Cygni, and carried out a measurement of a degree on the surface of the earth (as his countryman Snell did in 1617).

"1667 The largest Kessler triumph that added their name to Grimm lore was the stoppage of the hundj ger (literal translation: hound spear) revolt of 1666.
It was due to the Kessler's blades that the Anno Mirabillis (Year of Miracles or Wonders) occurred. This year of wonders would have been the disaster wesen wanted if it weren't for the Kessler Grimms, (so?) the hundj ger mounted an attack for their Year of the Beast, their planned assassination of the English Monarchy, which was foiled by the swinging Kessler blades."

Also, the latter part of Nick's family tree:

Georg Kessler b. 1765

descended from him:

Hilda Kessler b 1893

Walter Kessler b. 1931
Note: "First Grimm to use electricity to eliminate wesen."

Marie Kessler b. 1958 and Kelly Kessler b. 1960

Nicholas Burkhardt b. 1982

Hope I have a chance to some more tomorrow.
