Gay/Lemonnyer records this title with just one word “rare” and OCLC locates only 2 copies, both in the British Library and adds [Translated from "Het Kind van Weelde," etc.] Of this Dutch original we trace a single copy in the Dutch National Library.
First published in 1618, and inevitably much reprinted even into the twentieth century, the present edition of this well-known collection of satirical, erotic and scatalogical verse by some of the best poets in that genre is recorded by OCLC in only one copy, that in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. “Un recueil fort remarkable et fort connu, des meilleures poesies licencieuses du temps” [Gay/Lemonnyer]
