Contemp. vellum. With woodcut printer's device on 2 titles, first title printed in red and black. (10), 176; 177, (3) pp. Rare edition of the most popular Latin schoolgrammar and syntax in the Northern Netherlands, first published in 1627, by the famous humanist scholar Gerard Vossius (1577-1649). It was based upon an earlier popular grammar by Lodewijk Dijkgraaf, in Latin Lithocomus, which Vossius himself had used in his schooldays, and still had to use again when teaching at the Latin School at Dordrecht. So he started to purge the worst defeciencies in Dijkgraaf's grammar, and published the first edition in 1626. However, Vossius was not satisfied with this version either, and until the end of his life he continued to rework his grammar. Finally in 1649 he published the fifth edition, which he himself judged now to be perfect, calling it the "editio princeps". With his Latin grammar Vossius made a major contribution to reforming education at the Latin Schools. The present is the seventh edition, corrected and enlarged with extra notes. The book is finely printed in several different types, with the notes and annotations in small print arranged around the main text. It still is purely in Latin, only in the course of the 18th century a translation in Dutch as well as Latin-Dutch vocabularies were added. Fine copy of a rare edition.
Unrecorded edition; cf. Rademaker 19 (does not know the present edition); not in NUC.
