[1824], 154pp. later blank paper binding, Translation by Jacobus Scheltema (14 March 1767 Franeker-25 October 1835 Utrecht) from latin of this speech by Marnix van St Aldegonde. Latin and Dutch text. Scarce. Philips of Marnix, Lord of Saint-Aldegonde, Lord of West-Souburg (Dutch: Filips van Marnix, heer van Sint-Aldegonde, heer van West-Souburg, French: Philippe de Marnix, seigneur de Sainte-Aldegonde; 7 March/20 July 1540 - 15 December 1598) was a Flemish and Dutch writer and statesman, and the probable author of the text of the Dutch national anthem, the Wilhelmus.In 1578 he was at the Diet of Worms, where he made an eloquent, but fruitless, appeal for aid to the German princes. Equally vain were his efforts in the same year to persuade the magistrates of Ghent to cease persecuting the Catholics in the city. He took a conspicuous part in arranging the Union of Utrecht. In 1583 was chosen burgomaster of Antwerp. In 1585 he surrendered the city, after the months' siege of Antwerp, to the Spaniards. Attacked by the English and by his own countrymen for this act, he retired from public affairs and, save for a mission to Paris in 1590, lived henceforth in Leiden or on his estate in Zeeland, where he worked at a translation of the Bible. The original Latin text of this speech was provided to the author by F.A. van Rappard. this edition was likely published by Plantijn/Plantin in 1578 in Antwerp. Probably published in Feschied- en Letterkundig Mengelwerk 1824. Not as separate publication in KB nor in any other library according to Worldcat.
