Rare first and only edition of Ole Borch’s funeral oration commemorating the life and virtues of the Danish statesman Holger Vind (1600–1683), Chancellor of Denmark and Knight of the Order of the Elephant. Composed and delivered by the noted polymath and physician Ole Borch (Olaus Borrichius). Borch's tribute blends the classical rhetorical style with contemporary references praising Vind's service to the Danish crown, his integrity and his stature within the aristocracy. “Printed funeral sermons grew in popularity in the seventeenth century between 100 and 200 had been printed by 1647, with only 20 known to have been printed in the Elizabethan era. Their output increased from then until the turn of the eighteenth century. Funeral sermons were usually printed singly, although in 1647 a collection of 47 funeral sermons by eminent preachers was printed, entitled Threnoikos: The House of Mourning, demonstrating the popular place of the funeral sermon in the seventeenth century as a guide to leading an exemplary life, preparing for death, meditating on the next life, and responding to the death of loved ones.” (Molekamp, Femke. “Seventeenth-Century Funeral Sermons and Exemplary Female Devotion: Gendered Spaces and Histories.”) Biblioteca Danica III, 1566Bibliographes Borrichiana (Christensen), No. 36Not in Thesaurus

""I hvert vers forekommer der et ord med vanskelig stavelseskvalitet, således at dette kvantitet kan bedømmes.""
