Marriage Trou-Ringh Poetry Adam & Eve Dutch ART Engravings
One of the
most prominent Dutch ‘Golden Age’ authors was Jacob Cats, known for his emblem
books. His 17th-century masterpiece ‘Trou-Ringh’ (or Wedding
Ring) is a treatise in verse on marriage, conjugal relationships, and
fidelity based on iconic marriages from the Bible and works of classical
literature. Cats identifies the relationship between Adam and Eve, David and
Abigail, Marc Antony and Cleopatra, and makes connections of these marriages to
Christ’s relationship to his church.
Other topics
include marital abuse, rape, divorce, adultery, and the marriage traditions
from around the world.
This 1750
Dutch first edition was published by Kannewet in Amsterdam and includes
