1733. NOORDKERK, Hermannus

1733. De matrimoniis, ob turpe facinus, quod peccatum sodomiticum vocant, jure solvendis, dissertatio.

Amsterdam, Janssonius van Waesberge, 1733. Later three-quarter vellum. (12), 116 p. First edition. Handwritten spine ticket with shelf number. The Latin title means ‘About marriages dissolved by right, because of the disgusting crime that is called the sodomitic sin’. Noordkerk (1702-1771) was an outstanding lawyer, famous as a counselor at law. In 1730 he was approached by a woman who wanted to separate from her husband, who had left his house and work in May, 1730 and was severely suspected to have committed the sodomitic sin. This extensive plea in Latin builds a show of dozens of authors from the poet Horace and the emperor Justinian to Dutch lawyers De Damhouder, Voet and Van Leeuwen, not to mention the Bible citations, all damning that heinous peccatum.

1585. WIERIX, Hieronymus

Portrait of King Henry III of France.

Copper engraving. 35.4 x 25.1 cm. Clipped just over the edge of the decorative border. Some irregularities in the ink, little stains, partly in the ink and partly in the paper. Traces of mounting on verso. Hollstein 2093. BM 1858,0417.1379. After a painting that was ascribed to a.o. Étienne Dumonstier, of the monarch 'with a Polish hat' (Henry had been king of Poland for a short time), several engravings were made. This one is signed in the plate 'Hieronymus W. fc' and is thought to have been engraved between 1580 and 1589. It shows the young king with fine clothing, rings and a large pearl in his ear, a feathered hat and immaculately combed and trimmed, but his low-lidded, haunting gaze betrays his image as the 'king of the mignons' that his opponents emphasized, a tried and tested strategy to smear a man in the eyes of sixteenth- to eighteenth-century audiences by portraying him as a sodomite. Whether he was, is a matter of debate. The flattering couplet under the portrait translates: 'Painter, so that your art may imitate Nature/ In the picture of this King whose honor touches the Heavens/ Paint Pallas on his head, Mercury on his lips/ Mars on his face, and Love in his eyes.'

1578. (SODOMY IN BRUGES AND GHENT). HOGENBERG, Frans

Two engravings depicting monks punished for sodomy, 1578.

Taken from a collection of 'Geschichtsblätter', Leaves of History. 1. Wie zween munch in einer predig gefangen zu Brug im Flandern haben sodomitigische gottlosigkeit des Closters, der Obrigkheitt angegeben. With caption text in German doggerel (14 lines) under the picture. Dated Anno Dni MDLXXVIII 18 Meij. Oblong 210 x 271 mm. 2. Execution uber sodomitigsche Buben binnen der Statt Gendt. With caption text in German doggerel (10 lines) under the picture. Dated Anno Dni MDLXXVIII XXVIII Junij. Oblong 207 x 279 mm. Each engraving pasted in a larger passepartout leaf of much later, yellowed paper, folded to paste on a stub in a book. Some brown staining and creasing. Marginal written numbers. Dramatical depiction of the arrest and execution of monks in monasteries in Bruges (May 18, 1578) and Ghent (June 28, 1578) by the foremost topographical engraver of his day, Frans Hogenberg (c. 1535-1590), who also in his lively way depicted contemporary history in his 'Geschichtsblätter'. The Bruges picture shows at least a dozen monks being forcibly escorted from a monastery by a large number of soldiers. The Ghent picture shows graphically five monks burning at the stake (four Franciscans and an Augustine) and the flogging of three others amidst a mass of onlookers. According to the rhyming caption, the four mendicant ecclesiastical orders were banished from the town afterwards. Two of the very earliest depictions of punishing homosexuality. From the sodomy collection of Haarlem historian and antiquarian Ab van der Steur, with his penciled numbers.

In zijn jaarverslag van 1938 reageerde Schorer geringschattend op dit pamflet.
