SPIEGHEL, Hendrik Laurensz.Hart-spieghel.     Amsterdam, 1615. (Colophon; Amsterdam, Paulus van Ravesteyn, 1615). 8vo. Contemporary vellum with title in ink on spine. With woodcut portrait of Spieghel, woodcut device on title-page, woodcut printer's device at colophon, woodcut front and endpieces, woodcut initials. 86, (8) pp. With: EPICTETUS (translated by M.A. Gillis), & H.L. Spieghel. Handt-boexken, ende Cebes tafereel lerende philosophischer wyze hoe elck in sijn beroep gherustelixt leven zal: ende wat 'smenschen leven alder-zalichste maeckt. Noch Cebes tafereels kort begrip, in rijm ghestelt door H.L. Spiegel. Amsterdam, Cornelis Franz. voor Cornelis Dirxzoon Kool, 1615. With woodcut fleuron on title-page, woodcut endpiece and initial. (64) pp. Ad 1: Second edition of the important work by Hendrik Laurensz. Spieghel (1549-1612). Spieghel completed only seven of the nine planned poems which were dedicated to the nine muses before his death. There are two issues of the second edition; one with a rare woodcut portrait by Christoffel van Sichem (our copy), the other with an engraved portrait by Jan Muller, which seems to be less rare. On the title-page we find the charming woodcut device of the famous musician Arion while he rides on a dolphin and plays on his harp, accompanied by Spieghels motto in four lines. Ad 2: First edition that usually is bound with Spieghels' Hart-spieghel, just like in our copy. The Greek text is translated by M.A. Gilles, which has been re-edited reprinted several times. Spieghel was an admirer of Epictetus' work. Therefore he learned Greek, in order to fully understand the work. He wrote down his thoughts concerning Cebes in a short explanation called 'Kort begrip', which is added to the work for the first time in 1615. It is also present in our copy. Good interleaved copies.- (With ms. annotations by previous owner on first blanks).
Ad 1: STCN: 9 copies; KVK; 1 copy; Van Someren 5244; Simoni S225; not in Muller, Portretten. Ad 2: STCN: 8 copies of which one incomplete; M. Boas. 'De Nederlandsche Cebes-literatuur. In: Het boek VII (1918), pp. 11-28.
