With small woodcut vignette on title.



Utrecht, Wed. J.J. van Poolsum, 1766. Small 8vo. Contemporary overlapping vellum wrappers. With small woodcut vignette on title. 41, (6) pp.

Utrecht edition of the popular school catechism by Borstius, first published under the title "Kort Begryp" in 1651. With Borstius' motto: "Kinders leert in uwe jonge jaren, ditgeene om wijsheid te vergaren! Want Godes woord is het fondament, Dat vooreerst U hier wordt ingeprent" (Children learn in your young years, this here to collect wisdom! Then the word of God is the foundation, which here is first taught to you). This verse which much resembles the verses in the A B C "Haneboek" reminds us that next to the A B C "Haneboek" the catechism was the most important primer in the early days of the Dutch Republic.

Fine copy.
This ed. not in Cat. Van Rijn, Cat. De Koning, Muller, etc.; not in Van der Haar, Schatkamer.
