Tweede druk van het uiterst zeldzame "Boeck der Psalmen" door Filips van Marnix, heer van Sint-Aldegonde (1540-1598). (12) (178) (1), (5) (30) (1), (1) (54), (9) folia. 18th century Vellum, 8° The second, much-revised, and extended edition of this rare and early Dutch Psalter by Philips of Marnix, Lord of Saint-Aldegonde, 1540-1598. The first edition of this work was published in 1580 at Antwerp only containing the rhymed Psalms of which the first verse was set to music. This second edition also contains Van Marnix's Bible translation printed in the margins next to the rhymed Psalms. His translation was an entirely new one which he translated from the original Hebrew. Van Marnix was the first Dutch translator who wrote the name of God in full in his translation of the Bible, in the 18th verse of Psalm 83 he uses 'Jehovah' for the name of God in both the rhymed version and the Bible translation. However, although his new version of the Psalms was closer to the source and valued by many as better than the Psalms by Dathenus which were in use at that time, it was never introduced in the churches. Due to this the number of printed copies was not large and besides the Psalms, the work contains Van Marnix's Hymns, the Heidelberg Catechism, and several other forms of which the Consolation of the Sick (Ziekentroost) has its title page. (Some pages are stained, mostly in the margins. The title page, the first seven pages of the prelim, and the last page of "Den Siecken Troost" are added as neat copies on old paper. Spine repaired, tightly bound.) A firm and complete copy with the Ex-Librid from Dr. H.H. Kuyper. Literature: Bruijn, J. de/Heijting, W. a.o. (1991).
