The present copy is complete with the Dutch title page, which is often lacking.The present collection was first published in 1625 in The Hague, with the title Otiorum libri sex. The present edition is a reprint of the second edition from 1634, which was also printed in Haarlem.Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687), the lifelong secretary of the stadtholders, and father of the perhaps even more famous physicist Christiaan Huygens, is arguably one of the most prolific poets of the Dutch Golden Age.

As a man of his era, Huygens also played various instruments (lute, viola da gamba, and harpsichord), for which he wrote 769 compositions.The work is somewhat browned throughout, the upper corners of the two free flyleaves in the back are torn off. Otherwise in good condition.l Bibl. Belg. H-103; Eyffinger, "Beknopte bibliogr. Const. Huygens," in: Huygens herdacht, 1987, p. 61, no. 211; Huygens, De gedichten (ed. Worp), I, p. xxii, nr.
