(dusty, small libr.sticker on spine) ¶ David van Hoogstraten (1658-1724), conrector of the Amsterdam gymnasium. His latin work is mostly occasional poetry, hundreds of fellow-Dutch are the subject. Edited, with a short 'vita' by Pieter Vlaming, laudatory poems by J.Brouckhusius, Petrus Francius and Franciscus Hesselius. Of Janus de Bisschop, citizen of the city of Veere on the island of Walcheren, nothing is known. He dedicated this collection to Cornelius Kien, counsel of the VOC in Zeeland. Bisschop was tutor to his son: "Miserum adolescentem, qui talem nactus sit praeceptorem! Nihil ineptius vidi ista praefatione, nisi Epistolam, quae sequitur (etc.)." (Hofmann Peerlkamp, p.444) . Very rare.
