- Description is exactly "Jesuit catechism that includes one hundred lessons translated into Dutch, each illustrated with a meditational emblem engraved by Theodore Galle. A key to the book's usage is the rotating volvelle, part of a "lottery plate" that reveal the numerals 1 through 100. By rotating the volvelle, the reader could randomly select a number that refers to a pious Dutch proverb or motto, printed on the following pages, which in turn corresponds to one of the book's illustrated lessons."
