Issued in two parts (each with separate t.-p.). The first part contains a history of Noël de Berlaimont's "Vocabulare", a Flemish-French phrase book first published at Amsterdam, 1530, the substance of which remained practically unchanged in the numerous polyglot conversation and phrase books based upon it and published--frequently without the name of the original author--in various parts of Europe until 1692 when the last edition appeared at Bologna. The second part contains the reprint of the

Colloquia (with the original pagination noted on margin) In common with earlier editions, the Colloquia of 1616 contains, apart from some anonymous translatins of Berlaimont's dialogues, the Latin translation of Cornelius Valerius, the Spanish translation of Francisco de Villalobos, G. Meurier's De la prononciation franc̜aise, and the four dialogues first added in the editions published by H. Heyndrickx with the assistance of Jacques Boon and his son Assverus, Antwerpen 1579 and 1583 (cf. p. xxxvii and
