His editions of Propertius (1702) and Tibullus (1707) laid the foundation for his reputation as a classical scholar. He was admired as a latinist, for his taste and for his erudition. (NNBW 4,309/12) As a neolatin poet he is known as the 'Propertius of Holland'. (Sandys 2,329) His poetry is learned and eccentric, combining polish and refinement. § The collection contains a number of poems Broukhusius wrote in 1674 as a marine officer under admiral Michiel de Ruyter during a campaign of the Dutch navy in American waters. Lying anchored at the island of Dominica he translated into Latin Psalm XLIV (p. 11/13), and wrote a sea song, 'Celadon', about homesickness for the motherland (p. 13/15). He returned home with the fleet and continued his soldiering in the Netherlands and in Germany, where he fought in several battles and sieges till the Treaties of Peace of Nijmegen of 1678. During the following stay of his regiment at Utrecht he continued his studies of Propertius. He there befriended Johann Georg Graevius, professor of rhetoric at the local University, to whom he dedicates 2 poems in this collection. At the recommandation of the Burgomaster of Amsterdam Johannes Hudde he was appointed captain of an infantery company at Amsterdam. There he contracted friendship with Petrus Francius, professor of rhetoric at the local 'Athenaeum Illustre', and a famous neolatin poet and orator. To him Broukhusius dedicates 6 poems in his book of poetry. To Hudde 2. He also wrote 2 poems, the first and the last in this collection, for Ferdinand von Fürstenberg, Prince Bishop of Paderborn from 1661 to 1683. Broukhusius adopted in this collection also a number of erotic poems he wrote for some ladies, a Julia, Corinna and especially Delia, a Dutch woman of great beauty. He dedicates 6 poems to this mistress. From the Renaissance onward there existed a fashion for imitating the erotic poetry of Propertius. Many humanist elegiac poets produced neolatin poems addressed to some alluring girl, as Propertius had done for his Cynthia. Propertius influenced before Broukhusius among others the Dutch erotic poet Janus Secundus and the English poet John Donne, and later the German author Goethe and the American poet Ezra Pound) (Collation: *4, A-D12 (leaf D12 verso blank)) (Photographs on request) 300 gr.

Jean Van BROEKHUIZEN (Amsterdam, 1640-1707) est un poète et érudit hollandais dont les oeuvres sont rares. Après avoir reçu une bonne éducation littéraire, il resta quelque temps chez un apothicaire, puis il prit du service, devint lieutenant, fut envoyé en Amérique sur la flotte de Ruyter en 1674, et revint en Hollande l'année suivante. Se trouvant à Utrecht, il prit part à un duel et encourut pour ce fait la peine de mort ; mais, grâce à l'intervention du savant Groevius, il fut sauvé. Après avoir été quelque temps capitaine dans la milice à Amsterdam, Broekhuizen se retira à Amstelveen où il passa les dernières années de sa vie, se livrant entièrement alors à son goût pour la littérature. Outre ses "Poésies latines", publiées à Utrecht (1684), on a de lui des "Poésies hollandaises" très élégantes, mais peu nombreuses, ainsi que des éditions de Properce, de Catulle, de Sannazar, etc. BEL EXEMPLAIRE, grand de marges, dans un beau maroquin du temps.
