Description
128, 85-[3] pp. (slightly browned, dampstains, handwritten provenance erased on the first title-page, foxing, some underlinings and one handwritten note, wormholes from 3rd part on, sometimes with very small lacks of text, stains on the two last pp.). Contemporary binding : red tinted vellum with visible sewing, flat spine, blue edges (slightly soiled, wormholes in the lower board).
Grammar textbook for the use of students, officially summarised from the grammar of Despauterius, giving the rudiments, the etymology, the syntax, the prosody and poetry of Latin language. Voet doesn't consider the summarised arrangements of Despauterius' grammar of 1571-1572 as written by Verrept but by another scholar. The priest and schoolmaster Verrepaeus (1522-1598) became in c. 1550 rector of the Thabor Convent in Malines. The Calvinist rising forced him to an errant life but he finally settled down in 's Hertogenbosh where he became canon of the Cathedral Chapter of St. Jan and rector of the Chapter school. Very rare work, Voet listed only our copy but we have found two others in German libraries (Dresden and Duchess Anna Amelia library). The first part, not dated but probably printed in 1568, was printed by an unidentified typographer for Antonius Tilenius. The second part was printed by Plantin as written in the colophon, so were also probably the third and fourth as they present the same style and type. First edition after Voet though the Belgian biographical dictionary mentions a previous edition lost. Voet recommends not to confound that edition with the later editions of Verrept published for the first time by Plantin in 1578, no comparison has been made between the two editions though. # Voet 2427bis; # USTC 410032 (without collation); # Biogr. nat. XXVII-604/610; # BT 7040 (ed. of 1578 by Radeus): # not in Adams, Soltész, Machiels, Sorgeloos. fl Édition originale. Rare exemplaire de cette grammaire latine traitant des rudiments, étymologie, syntaxe, prosodie et poésie latines. Plein vélin teinté en rouge de l'ép. (lég. bruni, galeries de vers à partie de la 3e partie, parfois avec pet. manques de texte).
