Ni'uwe noodeliicke ortographie tot het schryven en 't drucken van onse Nederduytse tale,

sonder welcke het eyghen gheluydt der wórden oft sillaben der selve, nít en kan uytghedruckt worden, noch de verscheydentheydt der wórden in 't geluydt ende beteekenisse. Ghevonden ende geschreven door den. eerw. Heer Gulielmus Bolognino, S.T.L. Canonic van de Cathedrale Kerck tot Antwerpen. Antwerp, J. Mesens, 1657, 40 p., with woodcut title vignette, 18th-century wrapper with manuscript title label on front wrapper, small 8vo (14.5 x 9.5 cm.) (paper across spine torn).

Good copy with the bookplate of V. de la Montagne to inside front wrapper. Rare, only edition of a new spelling method for Dutch, by Willem Bolognino (1790-1660). Jacob Mesens writes in his dedication to the guild of St Ambrose [schoolmaster's guild] that "(...) Bolognino (...) hêft bemerct, hoe ommogelijck dattet is, met de gewoonlijcke wijse van schrijven, uyt te drucken onse Neder-duytse tale, ende dór 'tgeschrift te onderscheyden van malkanderen de wórden dí in 't geluyd ende de beetekenis, verschillen: gelijck noodtsakelijck is om 't een wórdt vór 't ander nít te lesen, sonderling in schriften van groot verlanck". The new method could of course only become the new standard if schools were to adapt it, hence the dedication to the schoolmaster's guild. See Ruijsendaal, Letterkonst. Het klassieke grammaticamodel en de oudste Nederlandse grammatica's, p. 340.
