Description
This is a very rare Flemish collaboration book: the Joris van Severen catechismus. Published in memory of Joris van Severen after his death in may 1940. Van Severen was preventively imprisoned by the Belgium state on the eve of the German attack on Belgium in May 1940. After being tranported and imprisoned in France, he was shot dead.
In memory of van Severen this luxuary book was made, in the style of a prayer booklet, hence it’s name “Catechismus”. It contains the Verdino program and many popular sayings of van Severen.
The book is hard to find and can easily be considered to be very rare.
In good condition.
