Rare original edition of a literary miscellaneous work by Johannes van Nyenborgh (or Nijenborg, 1612-after1662), merchant and poet born in Groningen and living in a country house near Groningen where he functioned as the centre of a literary circle with contacts all over Friesland and the province of Groningen, with Sibylle van Griethuysen, Bruno, and Gabbema, among others. He published several works with miscellaneous poetry and prose texts, for instance a book with poetry on his country house and country life in general: Hof-stede, met desselfs ander bedenckingen, gedichten en historien (1659), and his Tooneel der ambachten (1659). The present work contains his Latin miscellaneous moralistic or educational prose texts, together with Latin citations from the classical authors and his commentary.
