80/2683 [Zeeland]. Michielzen, M. (±1630-1684) (attrib.). (Burlesque Notulen:) "De Vergadering van de Staten van Zeeland, Den 13 Junij 1676. (...) 1 Januarij 1684." Manuscript on paper, pen and ink in Dutch, second half 18th cent., 123p., contemp. vellum, folio.

- First and final blank lvs. sl. foxed/ soiled. A good/ fine copy written in a neat hand.

= One of several transcripts of Michielse's famous (but unpublished) so-called "Burlesque Notulen", humorous notes written while attending the often boring meetings of the Staten van Zeeland. The work starts off with the following couplet: "Ik schrijf een coddig Rijm, voor al die 't willen Lezen; Wat dat de Wereld is, of watze schijnd te Wezen; Hoe alle soort van volk, word bij de Neus geleijt, Door Eygenbaat en List, tot slaafsze dienstbaarheijt." The first entry (13 June 1676) begins with the lines: "Zoo dra d'Eerst' Edele was gekomen, Heeft men terstond een Boo vernomen; Die zey dat men op zaturdag, De staten te gemoete zag." Usually the works starts on 13 January, but perhaps in this case the date of 13 June is a mistake by the copyist. Numerous local events, disputes, intrigues etc. are elaborated upon. On Michielse see Nagtglas III, p.170-172.
