[KERCKHOVE] P.E. de BORCHT PSEUDONYME DE JOSEPH ROMAIN LOUIS - Lot 415
[KERCKHOVE] P.E. de BORCHT PSEUDONYME DE JOSEPH ROMAIN LOUIS DE KERCKHOVE - Mémoire historique et généalogique sur la très-ancienne noble maison de Kerckhove, traitant spécialement de la branche de Kerckhove dite Van der Varent. Nouvelle édition, corrigée, complétée et augmentée des autres branches de la maison de Kerckhove; par un descendant de cette maison.
Antwerp, T.-J. Janssens, 1839. In-8°: viii, 171, [1 bl.] pp. Ep. pox. affecting especially first and last ff. Contemporary half calf, veined paper boards, smooth spine decorated, green basane, marbled edges.
Second edition, "which differs greatly from the previous one" published in 1830 (Frédéric de Reiffenberg, quoted by de Le Court, p. 625), published under pseudonym by J.R.L. de Kerckhove, a medical doctor in Antwerp. Again according to de Reiffenberg, "the manuscripts and authentic documents are from the same family as the alleged genealogist [...]. The author did not yet believe that he had established his ancestry in a sufficiently incontestable manner; he reprinted in the Mémoires de l'Académie d'archéologie d'Anvers, under the veil of anonymity, a genealogical fragment concerning the Viscounts de Kerckhove dit Vander Varent [...]" (ibid., pp. 624-625). Ref. De le Court, p. 625. Bibliographie nationale, I, p. 124 (1830 ed.). Handwritten copy, in an old hand, of F. de Reiffenberg's notice, on the first endpaper. Provenance: ex-libris T. de Valenzi.

Only the part concerning the years 1569 to 1643 is his own work. For earlier years (1385-1568), he uses data compiled by Jean Barrat (1496-1576), auditor of the Chambre des Comptes de Lille, whose manuscript is held by the Archives générales du royaume de Belgique.
