BOCKENBERG, Pieter Cornelisz.Catalogus & brevis historia pontificum Ultraiectensium. Item catalogus & brevis historia antistitum Egmondanorum.   Leiden, Ex Off. Ioannis Paetsius, for Leonardus Theodori, 1586. (Colophon: 'Extant Goudae, apud Leonardum Th Sm. 8vo. Wrappers, bound with fragment of 14th-century liturgucal MS on spine. Woodcut printer's device on title. (16), 99, (13 (last blank)) pp. Collation: A-H8). First and only edition of this historical work on the Utrecht Diocese and on the abbots and priests of the most important medieval monastery in Holland, the Monastery of Egmont in the northern part of Holland by the Dutch historiographer Pieter Cornelisz. Bockenberg Goudanus (Gouda 1548-1617 Leiden), who studied theology at Louvain, returned to Holland in 1583 where he settled in Leiden as a Calvinist. He wrote a history of Holland but came under attach of Janus Douza who had just written a history on the same subject. Through Johan van Oldenbarneveld Bockenberg was officially appointed Dutch historiographer in 1591. With a very interesting provenance: Ownership's entry on the title: 'Est Canonicarum Regularium in Wester-Blockero extra Horna' (The book belongs to the Regular Canons at Westerblokker near Hoorn, c. 40 km. north of Amsterdam. A 19th-century annotation on the verso of the front wrapper justly points out that this monastery - called 'Nieuwlicht' (Nova Lux), founded in 1388 - was demolished in 1573 (referring to Velius' history of Hoorn, p. 362). The author of the annotation suggest therefore that the library of this rich monastery must have been continued afterwards. A second ownership's entry is on the verso of the back cover, dated Sept. 1798r: W.C. Ackersdijck (1760-1843), a historian and lawyer from 's-Hertogenbosch, the father of the famous Utrecht professor Jan Ackersdijck. Underneath the signing of the work on f. (12)r: 'P. C. B[ockerberg]. G[oudanus] / Ne vita tragoedia' is written is a 16th- or 17th-century hand 'Juste et pie vivamus'. Good copy.- (Ownership's entry in ink on title; some minor soiling).
