About This Item

Amsterdam: Daniel van den Dalen, 1691-1693. Signed First Edition of Bekker's De Betoverde Weereld (The World Bewitched), in Four Books Complete. Bound in Contemporary Dutch Paneled Calf Boards, Ruled and Designed in Gilt, Elaborate Continual Design to all panel edges. Spine with Raised Bands, Elaborately Gilt and Decorated in Blind. Square, sewn binding tight with spine rounded, fore edge perfectly concave. Speckled page edges in various colors. Due to the single-volume octavo pirate edition of 1681, all four books of the authorized van den Dalen edition carried a "Beright" that Bekker sometimes signed as to approve of and subscribe. Although not uncommon to find Bekkers signature attesting to the Beright, it is uncommon to find all four parts warranted by Bekker, and quite Rare with an Additional Fifth Signature as thus. Eerste has Beright signed, as well as an exclusive Signature of Bekker to the Bescheiden Lesser. In tweede, the Beright is signed. Derde signed after Aan den bescheidenen Leser with vierde boek Signed after Aan den Leser. Collated Complete, with the oft lacking Original Frontispiece Engraving by Johannes Hilarides, "Monothe-ist", here present, as well as Oldenburg Horn woodcut, p. 141 / Book Four as called for. RARE First Edition.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hard Cover/Full-Leather/Sewn. Very Good. Illus. by Johannes Hilarides "Monothe-ist", Oldenburg Horn Woodcut. Thick 8vo - over 7¾" tall. Oversized Safely, Securely Packed.
