Works
The ''Praestantium aliquot theologorum'' (1602) consisted of 50 engraved portraits of Protestant theologians, with a few earlier figures (Berengar of Tours, John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, Jerome of Prague, Girolamo Savonarola and Erasmus) and a few laymen, for which Verheiden supplied Latin text, including biographical and bibliographical information. Many of the images, by Hendrik Hondius I, had appeared in an earlier work. The full title presents these men as opponents of the Antichrist (historicism), Roman Antichrist, combining images with eulogies by Verheiden; the work is also known by the short ''Imagines et elogia''. The Dutch translation of 1603, as ''Afbeeldingen van sommighe in Godts Woort ervarene Mannen'', was by Pauwels de Kempenare. A second edition appeared in 1725, edited by Friedrich Roth-Scholtz.
