explaining and illustrating the office of the mass and sacraments for a general audience. 1st
published at Gouda in 1506, Vander Goude’s book went through several editions by various
Antwerp publishers. Vorsterman printed and published 4 nearly identical eds. with the present title,
each known only from a single surviving copy (in one case a severely defective copy!). The colophon
of one (at the BL) is dated 1538, another at the Regional Archives in Gouda has been dated c. 1529,
and a 3rd (lacking the title and 7 lvs) at the Royal Library in The Hague has been dated c. 1535.
