A book honoring officers and members of the Vrywillighe Liefde Broeders van S. Huybrecht Liefde, a fraternal association established by the Brussels butchers' guild. Most of the leaves name an individual officer, usually giving his office (with a date, from 1714 to as late as 1718), a coat of arms, and a large allegorical or religious picture (often a patron saint). Leaves [43]ff. were probably intended for additions of the same nature. Seven rules of the society, numbered 3-9, are written on the recto and verso of leaf [124].
Title from leaf [11].
The dedication (leaf [4]) is dated from the writer's study, presumably in Brussels, Oct. 5, 1715, and signed: Joannes La Duron.
Brown ink on paper, with gold, green, and gray coloring. The pictorial work includes calligraphic figures.
Bound in contemporary gold-tooled red morocco.
Signatures: [1² 2-17⁸ 18-19²]. [3]₂ (content unknown) has been excised. [17]₁₋₃ (probably blank) are also missing.
Leaves [2-42] are numbered 1-41 in modern pencil.
