In-8°: [40]-792-[16] pp. (somewhat soiled and dampstained).

Cont. binding: overl. vellum, spine titled in ink (front joint split, traces of ex-libris on the inside cover). Good copy.

Very rare (unrecorded?) variant of the 3rd ed. of the pilgrim’s guide to Jerusalem and the Holy Sepulchre by the Franciscan B. Surius (d. 1665). In the period 1644-1647 he was Franciscan curator of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The 3rd ed. was printed and published by the Brussels bookseller Jan Mommaert in 1661. In 1669 Godtgaf [II] Verhulst brought the work again on the market. He first re-issued the remaining copies of Mommaert’s ed. with his own new title-page (as here) and then printed it again with this same title (fingerprint differs from the Mommaert ed.). Engraved title. Full-page portrait of the dedicatee (Maria Rovelly, abbess of ter Kameren/La Cambre), 1 folding map and 8 full-page engravings outside collation, 5 engravings and 3 woodcuts in text. Woodcut mark of Mommaert at the end. Printed in gothic type. Ref. Cp. STCV 3140584 = BCNI 11803 (Mommaert 1661) and STCV 3140675 = BCNI 12651 (Verhulst 1669).- Not in BnF, BL.
