Dutch black-letter ballads of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries

Dutch black-letter ballads of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Dutch black-letter ballads of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries In 1972 I described here a number of unknown black-letter ballads preserved in the University Library in Ghent.

Abstract

Dutch black-letter ballads of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries In 1972 I described here a number of unknown black-letter ballads preserved in the University Library in Ghent. In that article, which was intended as a first supplement to the inventory made by Kossmann,2, I was able to add two complete and two fragmentary broadsides to the small group to which Koss- mann had drawn attention. It is the purpose of the present paper to describe six more broadsides, five fragments and one complete sheet. Five of these are preserved in the Plantin- Morctus Museum in Antwerp and the one complete sheet is in the possession of the Royal Library in Brussels. Four items date from the last quarter of the sixteenth century, the rcmaining two belong to the first half of the seven- teenth century. The great rarity of this kind of ephemeral popular printing is evidenced by the fact that in all there are now only six complete sheets known which belong to the sixteenth century, and only five for the seventeenth century. Before describing the six broadsides, it may be as well to point out that only the so-called popular broadsides have been included. In the
