The first edition of this collection of laws (of Ghent, Bruges, Kortrijk, Dendermonde, Oostende, Aalst, etc.) was published in 1664 by Maximiliaen Graet in Ghent, with a privilege of 10 years. On 1 Dec. 1673, when the author (Ghent 1617-1683) was preparing a new edition, and without being informed, the Privy Council granted Michiel Knobbaert of Antwerp a privilege to print this collection. By the same time, in 1674, Van den Hane's privilege was extended. Thus, the Knobbaert edition of 1674-1676, despite the mention of "Vierden druck" on title-page, is the real second edition. Illustrated with 1 allegorical engr. title by Abraham Diepenbeeck and vignettes on all the title-pages. Ref. Dekkers 74. - Biogr. nat. XXVI:302/305. - STCV. Prov.
