Wormtrack in gutter of first few leaves dampstaining to foremargins and lower corners a fewer quires with larger dampstain. 17th-century stiff parchment manuscript spine title. Provenance: "Herman Lamberts Bellaer Anno 1685" signature on front flyleaf Bellaer was a notary in Weesp North Holland from 1656 to 1658; "no. 38" written on title; sheet of 20th-century paper with note tipped in at front.Only Edition of an anonymous vernacular play collection a late survival of a popular medieval performance tradition. These seven plays in Dutch verse dramatize the seven Works of Mercy from Matthew 25:35-46. They were written and performed in the open air on seven consecutive Sundays by the amateur Amsterdam literary and theatrical confraternity or "chamber of rhetoric" known as de Egelantier or Eglantier eglantine or wild rose allegedly in order to encourage the citizens of Amsterdam to participate in a lottery for the benefit of the Amsterdam insane asylum Poll p. 113. The edition was printed by one of the Eglantier members.In each play of the present collection an allegorical figure with a name like "Good Education" or "Brother Love" knocks on the door of the house of a different stock character - a burgher an artisan a farmer etc. - asking to be fed or clothed or given shelter. While these tradesmen comply a selfish character named "Most of the World" invariably rejects the stranger. Each play has a prologue and an epilogue that provides the moral of the story explaining that the stranger the naked the hungry the thirsty etc. are all Christ on the Cross.By the early sixteenth century every town and many villages of the Low Countries possessed their own "college" or chamber of rhetoric; these were literary confraternities whose origin lay in medieval French-speaking theater groups of Flanders and Brabant which performed mystery and miracle plays. Endowed with corporate structures emblematic names often flowers and their own blazons and regalia the chambers of rhetoric became a central cultural institution of Netherlandish life. After the Reformed church came to power in the northern provinces in 1581 it attempted to halt public performances of religious plays and even to suppress the chambers altogether but largely failed the chambers especially of larger towns usually retaining the support of local authorities. Hence one finds such "throwbacks" as the present series of religious plays. A peculiar to the modern reader mixture of traditional farce and didactic allegory it is typical of rhetoricians' plays which were usually "absolutely middle-class in tone and opposed to aristocratic ideas and tendencies in thought" EB 1911 8:721 with simple dramatic plots that were secondary to their educational value.Although founded later than many others at the end of the 15th century Amsterdam's de Eglantier was the most prominent Chamber of Rhetoric in the northern Netherlands. Its prestige was enhanced by the infusion of humanist writers and writers from the southern Netherlands who emigrated to the north during the religious wars. The Zeven Spelen is unique in containing the productions of a single city's Rhetorical Chamber: all other known Renaissance Dutch rhetoricians' collections contain the productions of several different towns performed in elaborate literary competitions known as landjuweelen.Six of the seven simple but charming woodcuts illustrating this edition in a consistent style and apparently by the same wood-engraver possibly the printer represent the first six acts of mercy the seventh play is illustrated with a smaller Last Judgment cut evidently from the printer's stock. Their charm lies in their portrayal of scenes from daily life: a family dining as a servant brings a platter and a mother feeds her baby; a vintner sitting cross-legged on a wine barrel in a medieval square pouring a welcome drink to a pair of wanderers while a neighbor quaffs behind him; naked men being clothed a prisoner in a stockade; a sickbed with a woman stirring gruel. The printer-publisher Harmen or Herman Jansz Muller ca. 1540-1617 was a member of a family of engravers printers and print- and booksellers who operated under the sign of "Den Vergulden Passer." Under his direction from ca. 1566 until his death the bookselling activities of the firm reached their apogee. As in many of his imprints Muller identifies himself here as a figuersnyder and it is possible that the title woodcut and the five larger cuts were his own work cf. Thieme-Becker 25:230 who suggested as much. Muller was also a member of De Egelantier and pubished a number of works for them.OCLC locates 5 copies in American libraries Folger Newberry National Gallery of Art Harvard and U. Michigan.

Wit and the Writing of History focuses on how this potential is realized in the historiography of the earlier Principate. Preeminently in Tacitus, to a lesser degree in Suetonius and Dio Cassius, wit is a vehicle for political understanding and judgment of the historical account. As part of Roman political life, hostile anecdotal or epigrammatic wit was deeply embedded in the sources used by historians and is reflected in the rhetoric of their narratives. Some anecdotes may, in fact, have been mere jests later taken as fact, hence the frequent problem of credulity. But what is historically false can be politically true. Not only were political jokes a weapon for making some fair points against the Principate; ancient rhetorical theory recognized that wit in general arises from a violation of normal, expected ways of thinking. What is “funny” is thus disturbing in a serious way as well as amusing, and in the hands of Tacitus wit becomes scalpel as well as sword. ; Wisconsin Studies in Classics; 182 pages
