* A popular Dutch Protestant diatribe against the
pope and the Catholic Church, with several beautiful illustrations:
especially the ingenious frontispiece is worth examining. This is the
variant with 'Babel-beest' and 'Zo' on page 2, one of five known editions
with tiny differences, all from the same year. Published without the
author's name. 'Op kosten van den uitgever' is a meaningless note, meaning
'At the expense of the publisher'. The literal meaning of the title
is 'Popish meal, dished out in Geuzen (protestant rebels) plates, about
the Popish upswing, idolatry, heretical Mass, its fall and end. Translated
into Dutch poetry'.
