Enchuysen, Jacob Hendricksz., 1660. Sm.8vo. With woodcut vignette on title, title within woodcut borders. 127, (1) pp.

Enkhuizen imprint of a very rare popular Dutch schoolbook, which although announced as a grammar is foremost an A B Book, and a reading- and spelling-exercise book, supported by explanations of Dutch grammar. The motto, a typical A B motto, on title reads: "Een Kind dat letters leert, verkeert, of dat versma'lijk, 'T wel-spellen over-slaat: leest all' sijn leven qualijk" (A child learning his letters wrongly or omitting the right spelling, will all his life have trouble with reading). The book is printed in Gothic as well as in Roman lettertypes. Dafforne who for some time resided in London, called himself a Dutch and English language teacher, and his present Dutch A B book was a.o. used for the English-Dutch grammars by Hexham and Beyer.

Good copy of a very rare A B book.- (Frontwrapper missing; old  ink stains on title; sl. dog-eared).
Cat. Van Rijn 220 (first Amsterdam ed. of 1627); Carter-Vervliet 364 (idem); Loonen p. 328 (idem); cf. Bibelebontse Berg p. 115; not in NUC.
