- Bookplate on upper pastedown (V. de la Montagne) and first free endpaper (E. Grendel). A fine copy.
= Very rare second edition of the plays performed at the rhetorician or 'Rederijkers' festival of Rotterdam, 1561. Although these competitions in rhetorical theatre and poetry existed for centuries in the Southern Netherlands under the name of 'Landjuweel', these festivals were only introduced in the northern part in the second half of the 16th century. The festival here mentioned was organized by the Rotterdam chamber of Rhetoricians called 'Die Blauwe Acolye', which was therefore excluded from the competition. The following chambers were invited to perform the plays present in this edition: De Lelie onder de Doornen (Noordwijk), De Goudsbloem (Gouda), De Roode Angieren (Rijnsburg, including a short song w. musical scores), De Pellecaen (Haarlem, old chamber), De Wijngaertrancken (Haarlem, young chamber), De Roode Acolye (Leyden), De Rapenbloem (Delft), De Roode Roosen (Schiedam) and D'Egelantier (Amsterdam, winner of the festival). See at large H. Hollaar, De Rotterdamse spelen van 1561 (2006). Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel p.4; Bibl. Belg. S226; Scheepers I, 64. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE CXXXV.
