Paperback. Condition: New. The first published defense of women by a Netherlandish author. Jehan Baptista Houwaert's Excellence and Nobility of Women constitutes the eighth book of his Plain of the Nine Muses, or The Pleasure Garden of Virtuous Women (1582-1583), an immense conduct book for women in rhymed verse based on the man…y querelle texts of the French and Burgundian tradition but especially, in its French translation, on the pathbreaking Declamation on the Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex (1529) by Henricus Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim. Like its model, Houwaert's work asserts not merely the equality but the superiority of women. It is unique in that it is addressed not to a wealthy noblewoman or princess, as were most such defenses, but more democratically to the "girls, unmarried women, wives, and widows of Belgica"-all of them.

Add to basket4 parts in one volume. First and only edition of four morality plays or dialogues, often wrongly attributed to the famous Antwerp rhetorician Jean Baptiste Houwaert (1533-1599). In fact, they were written by Antwerp rhetoricians ca. 1550, when Houwaert was only about seventeen. It has mistakenly been described as a second editio…n of Houwaert's Den handel der amoureusheyt (Brussels 1583) - see Bibl. Belg. III, p. 538, H 189 bis, but in fact it has nothing to do with that work: if Houwaert wrote anything for the present edition, it would be the entr'actes of the third play.After four preliminary poems, on 5 pages, by a poet calling himself "Niet Snel Al-be-recht", four plays follow:1. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Aeneas ende Dido (A1-F3; 43 ll.), written by the rhetorician Jacob de Mol of the Chamber of rhetoric "De Goudsblom" in Antwerp, performed for the first time in 1552 (cf. Vinck-Van Caeckenberghe in her book on Cornelis van Ghistele (1996), who attributes this play to Van Ghistele).2. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Narcissus ende Echo, &c. (F4-P7; 76 ll.): three separate plays, together 2193 verses, by Colyn Keyart, with entr'actes possibly by Johan Baptiste Houwaert.3. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Mars ande Venus, &c. (Q1-Z1; 57 ll.): three separate plays, together 1128 verses, probably by Smeecken.4. Vier schoone spelen van zinnen van Leander ende Hero (Z2-Gg2; 57 ll.): this play, according to Knuttel also by Colyn Keyart, is preserved only in this edition.The book is a very important source for the history of the rhetoricians in the Southern Netherlands.One plate shaved, otherwise in good condition.l Bibl. Belg. III, pp. 538-539, H 26; G. Kalff, in: Tijdschrift Ned. letterk., 8 (1888), pp. 231-235; STCN (9 copies, incl. 1 incompl.); F. van Veerdeghem, in: Tijdschr. Ned. letterk., 12 (1893), pp. 202-205, 320; W. de Vreese, in: Tijdschr. Ned. letterk., 12 (1893), pp. 206-211; Te Winkel, Ontwikkelingsgang, 2nd ed., II, p. 395; J.A. Worp, in: Tijdschr. Ned. letterk., 20 (1901), pp. 27-29. Contemporary calf, spine richly gold-tooled in compartments with red title label lettered in gold, gold-tooled board edges. With an engraved ornamental title-page with the title in an oval cartouche and 4 roundels in the corners with scenes from the four plays; 4 full-page engraved plates with similar scenes, one in the preliminaries of each play. Each of the four parts starts with a letterpress title-page with the publisher's device of Van Waesberghe. Further with woodcut tailpieces, woodcut decorated initials (3 series) and headpieces built up from arabesque typographic ornaments. Pages: 237 ll.
