    Hagae Comitum ( den Haag, 's Gravenhage ), apud Nicolaum van Daalen a.o., 1765, in-4° 2 parts in one volume, 265 x 205 mm, frontispiece portrait + xi pp + (1)(contents of part I) + portrait of Koster + 260 pp ; (Part II) viii pp + 312 pp + 10 engraved facsimile plates (numbered i-vi, vi*, vii-ix). Complete. Bound in somewhat later half vellum with marbled boards. Binding slightly dustsoiled, frontispiece portrait a bit stained in the margin, but still a fine copy. See Bigmore & Wymann II p. 32. The author still upheld the theory that Laurenszoon Koster was the inventor of printing with mobile metal types. The work is nevertheless esteemed because of its fine illustrations and impeccable Latin descriptions. From the library of Leo Olschki, with his printed bookplate tipped on to the first paste down.

    Hagae Comitum - Parisiis - Londini: Apud Nicolaum van Daalen . Guil. Franc. de Bure . Thomam Wilcox, 1765, 22x28, 2 tomos: I-XII- 260 págs. 2 láminas con retratos grabados de Meerman y Laurens Coster, 1 árbol genealógico plegado de la familia Coster. II- VIII-312 págs. 10 láminas con facsímiles muy curiosos y bien ejecutados que dan idea de los tipos usados en las imprentas a las que se hace referencia. Encuadernados en plena piel de época con nervios, tejuelos, lomeras cuajadas con hierros, ruedas en los cantos, cortes marmoleados, ejemplares con amplios márgenes y muy limpios. (El barón Gerard Meerman había viajado por Inglaterra, Francia y Alemania para investigar sobre el origen de la tipografía. El autor sostenía la teoría (errónea) de que Laurens Coster era el inventor de la imprenta con tipos metálicos móviles). El trabajo es sin embargo estimado debido a sus ilustraciones y sus descripciones latinas impecables. La impresión es magnífica, los retratos hermosísimos y la erudicción del autor muy amplia).
