6. Gend ( Gent ) , by J.F. Vander Schueren , te Brugge by Joseph Bogaert, s.d. (ca. 1786 ) , in-12° , 10 x 17 cm, viii pp + 73 pp , in een mooi bandje (karton overtrokken met marmerpapier). Titelblad bestoft, verder mooi exemplaar. Het frontispiece portret ontbreekt en wordt bijgevoegd in kopie. De jesuit Ignatius Toebast (1648 - 1684) was missionaris in the provincie Nieuw Granada in het huidige Columbia. Hij stierf de marteldood in de handen van de Indianen van het Orinocogebied. (Zie De Backer Sommervogel Vol. VIII col. 60-61. Deze merkt ook op dat het frontispiece portret apocrief is en waarschijnlijk Pater Jac. Laynez afbeeldt (door Jer. Wierix ). Rather nice copy of the original imprint of the life of Father Ignatius Toebast, 17th century jesuit missionary in South America (Columbia). It lacks the original frontispiece portrait which is added in facsimile (and which was after all not an effigy of Toebast but of another Jesuit).
