[46], 282, [20] pp.First Dutch edition of a very interesting history of the Holy Sacrament of Miracles in the Saint Gudele or Gudula Church (from 1962 on the Saint Michiels or Michael’s Cathedral) in Brussels. It was written by Steven (Etienne) Ydens, a canon of this church, and published in French in 1605 (also by Velpius at Brussels) and is here for the first time translated into Dutch. Other Dutch editions were printed, all at Brussels, in 1642 and 1648 by Huybrecht Antoon Velpius and ca. 1662 and in 1672 by Peter de Dobbeleer.The beautifully detailed engravings of God the Father, saints and precious ecclesiastical objects, such as the first image of the relic, crosses and a ciborium, are by Adriaen Collaert (ca. 1560-1618), son-in-law of the draughtsman, engraver and print publisher Philip Galle. The engravings are printed from the plates used for the first French edition of 1605. Only the last one (of Saint Gudula) is signed, by Adriaen Collaert, but they can all be safely attributed to him.

[7], [1 blank] pp.This pamphlet was included in all three editions of the Bye-korf and also in the Gepurgeerde Byecorf, in which the 6 pamphlets that were not forbidden by the States General were republished.Lower corner of title-page with paper and slight water staining to the upper inner corner.

[19], [1 blank] pp.Only edition of a rare pamphlet by a Swiss warning against Spanish supremacy in Europe. The text is translated from the French into Dutch and published, not surprisingly in 1608, on the threshold of the Twelve Year's Truce between the Dutch Republic and Spain (1609-21).Good copy.l Knuttel 1485; Tiele, Pamfletten, 695; Simoni G 39; Zijlstra, Den Zeusem Beesem, 0203.

[16] pp.A political pamphlet warning against any dealings with Spain, in the form of a prophetic story of betrayal, the devil and murder, and prophesies by the ten Sibyls of the outcome of the negotiations.Netherlands' help.The present pamphlet contains a curiously cryptic and rather mysterious anti-Spanish tale.With the upper, outer corner of leaf 6 (pp. 11-12) torn off, with the loss of a few words of text, and the last line on the last page has been cut slightly short, affecting only the descending letters. A printer's error appears to have led to the loss of the first few letters of the beginning of the last few lines on the first page, the pamphlet has been disbound before the paper wrappers were glued on, causing the inner leaves to come loose. Some minor soiling and very slight fraying of the head- and fore-edge. Otherwise in good condition.l Alden & Landis 608/41 (6 copies); Asher 26/35; Knuttel 1464; Tiele 675; WorldCat (3 copies); STCN (7 copies); not in JCB or Simoni.

[8] pp.A political pamphlet written as a popular dialogue between a (moderate) Hollander and an (uncompromising) Zeelander who happen to meet each other and discuss the peace negotiations that were to lead to the Twelve Years' Truce in 1609. The Zeelander asks if the Hollander has news of the peace negotiations. While the Hollander hopes for a quick settlement, the Zeelander puts more emphasis on a favourable and lasting peace.Slightly browned and some tears on the fold of the outer bifolium. A very good, unusually large-margined copy, apparently sewn without wrapper.l Asher 26, 27 or 28/25; Knuttel 1454; Tiele 664; Simoni C173.
