SCRIVERIUS, P., (ed.). Het oude Goutsche chronycxken van Hollandt, Zeelandt, Vrieslandt en Utrecht. Als mede met een byvoeghsel en toet-steen verm. Amst., J.H. Boom, (a.o.), 1663. (6), 280 (=276) pp. W. engr. front. & 33 engr. portrs. of the Counts of Holland in the text. 4°. Cont. vellum. (Corners a bit worn, upper margin ti-p. a bit chipped, slightly browned).
Very interesting copy: the paging omits 180-183, but the reverse of page 179 is paged 184 and the quire in question, Z, consists of only 2 leaves. The custodes do connect well, which makes the error understandable. Our copy differs from a digitized copy online (Ghent) in more than one way, however, beginning with leaf Z, which has at the bottom a slightly different text and custode. In the online copy, pages 178 and 179 (and p. 183, the one lacking in our misprint) have an engraving, which is not the case in our misprint. In the online copy the engraving for Maximilianus Austriacus (p. 179) and the one for Philippus Austriacus (p. 183) are also identical, a sign that the printer did not strictly follow the rules even in the corrected version. This for example has been corrected in the KB copy (and another Ghent copy), the engraving on p. 183 has been replaced there. In short, the printer initially messed up this publication, and our copy adds another dimension to this. Due to the large number of errors, we assume our copy belongs to one of the earliest printings (proof?). - Cf. Haitsma Mulier/v.d. Lem 436d; De Wind 412; Van Someren I, 100. - Ex bibl.
