1213 - The Women's Pearl, or The Triple Story of Helena the Patient, Griseldis the Gentle, and Florentine the Faithful [...]. [Ghent: J. Meyer, 18th cent.] 8vo (no date; lower part of title missing; discolored). Modern vellum, flat spine (some spots). Extremely rare reprint of a popular book about “exemplary women.” Woodcut illustrations on the title page and a few in the text. Printed in two columns. The imprint is largely missing; only “in’t gekroont sweirdt” is still legible, from which we infer that the work was printed by Jan Meyer, but the STCV does not list any edition of this work by this Ghent printer. Ref. Not in the STCV.
