Woodcut interlaced capital 'o' on title, woodcut headpiece.



No place (Delft), or name (Aelbrecht Hendricksz.), 1584. 4to. Woodcut interlaced capital 'o' on title, woodcut headpiece. (14, 2 blank) pp.

Interesting pamphlet on the Dutch-Spanish war by an unknown Dutch author (sometimes erroniously atttributed to Marnix van St. Aldegonde) arguing against peace with Spain. According to the Typ. Bat. Aelbrecht Hendricksz. from Delft printed this pamphlet. It is translated from the French original (Discours d'un gentil-homme amateur de la patrie et du repos publicq...) which was printed in 1584, probably by Gilles vanden Rade from Antwerp (Knuttel 705).
The imprint in the present edition ("na de copie." meaning, "after the copy.") implies that it follows an earlier Dutch edition published in 1584, but the text ends with a statement that it was written at "N." on 20 September 1584, information not to be found in the French original. The interlaced capital in the present edition comes from a set cast in matrices that originated in Antwerp, where Willem Silvius used it in 1569 and Plantin in 1581. Silvius may have brought a fount to Leiden when he moved there in 1577 and Thomas de Vechter brought matrices there in 1584.

Good copy, including last blank.- (Title with later ms. annotations in ink and some marg. spotting).
Knuttel 706; Belg. Typ. 1283; Tiele, Pamfletten, 284.
