(2 & 7 copies), OCLC (7 & 9 copies).First editions of two standard works on Dutch language and grammar, the first in Dutch and the second in Latin. The title of Moonen's book explicitly notes that it is intended both for natives and foreigners. Arnold Moonen was much praised by Vondel and Brandt as a poet and published several poems and sermons as well as some historical and linguistic works. the publication here present is considered his greatest success. Although labelled "childish" by Te Winkel, it was a standard reference book used by philologists untll the end of the eighteenth century. The work by Verwer bound with the present copy bears testimony to the general appreciation of Moonen's work. It is dedicated to Moonen by the esteemed phililogist David van Hoogstraten. Verwer himself, like Moonen a clergyman, published several works on law, and a disputation of Spinoza's Ethica, but only the present single book on philology. Moonen later sent Verwer his comments on the publication, to which Verwer published a response in 1709.Good copies. Valuable early eighteenth-century contribution to the study of Dutch linguistics.
