Description
Pieter Langendijk (1683–1756) – The Poems – Volumes I and IV
Haarlem, J. Bosch, [c. 1760] / 1760.
Two separately bound volumes from the collected works of the important Dutch poet and playwright Pieter Langendijk, born in Haarlem in 1683.
Offered here are Volume I (second edition) and Volume IV (fourth and final volume). Both volumes are complete in themselves, including all pages and the required engraved illustrations. Volumes II and III are not present.
Volume I:
The Poems of Pieter Langendyk. First Part. Second Edition.
Haarlem, J. Bosch, no date [c. 1760].
Complete with 494 numbered pages, preliminaries/index and the attractive engraved allegorical title/frontispiece by Jan Wandelaar, originally dated 1721, accompanied by the Verklaaring van de Tytel-prent.
Of particular interest are the three engraved plates depicting historic Haarlem emergency and siege coinage, medals and tokens, including pieces relating to Haarlem and the events of 1572–1573. The plates contain numerous finely engraved representations of coins and medals, shown both obverse and reverse.
Volume IV:
P. Langendyks Gedichten. Vierde en laatste Deel. Waar achter gevoegd is het Leeven van den Dichter.
Haarlem, J. Bosch, 1760.
Complete with 382 + 34 pages, including the separately paginated biography Leven van Pieter Langendyk.
Also present is the fine engraved portrait of Pieter Langendijk, identifying him as born at Haarlem on 25 July 1683.
An attractive combination for collectors of 18th-century Dutch literature, Haarlem history and numismatics, particularly because of the three engraved plates devoted to Haarlem coinage.
The two volumes are preserved in old bindings with marbled paper-covered boards and leather spines. The bindings show considerable age-related wear, rubbing and losses, particularly to the spines, edges and corners. The bindings nevertheless remain together.
Internally generally well preserved for their age. Some occasional spotting, toning, staining and other normal signs of use and age. The engraved plates are well preserved with good impressions and generous margins.
Please note: this is not the complete four-volume set. Only Volumes I and IV are offered. However, both of these individual volumes are complete in themselves, with their respective text and illustrations present.
Please examine the photographs carefully; they form an integral part of the description.
