[Chapbook. Unknown edition] Droomboek, met deszelfs uytlegging,

waer in uyt natuerlyke der oude philosoophen en waerzeggers, verklaert en uyt geleyd worden alle droomen of nagt-gezigten, die den mensch (als hy slaept) voor-komen mogen. Waer uyt dat men zyn geluk of ongeluk verneemen kan, zonder eenige vermindering der kragt Gods. Amsterdam, weduwe van Gysbert de Groot/ Brussels, P.J. de Haes, n.d. (c. 1695), 36 p., with woodcut title vignette, no binding or wrapper (cordbound quires), small 8vo (14 x 85 cm.).

First and last page trifle duststained, tender. Unknown, extremely rare edition. PiCarta lists two copies (KB and UB Leiden) of an edition by Broer Jansz. (1st half 17th century), which is also the only result in WorldCat. Waller 483-484 and Muller 544-545 mention Amsterdam editions from 1645 and 1770. In this lovely chapbook (according to De hele Bibelebontse Berg p. 472 Stijn Streuvel's favourite book as a youth) elements from dreams are indicated as in a dictionary. For example: "Kaes eeten beteekent winst en profijt" or "Als men droomt menschen vleesch te eeten, dat beteekent moeyte en arbeyd". Another: "Een naekt wyf zien, beteekent de dood van iemand van zyne vrienden, oft van zyne kennis". The work ends with a parable on how to travel in search of wealth, only to discover it is to be found at home.
