[Satirical poem on fleas] Floja, kurzes Gedicht von den Flöhen,

jenen schwarzen Thierchen, welche fast alle Menschen, Männer, Frauen, Jungfrauen u.s.w. zu behüpfen und mit ihren spitzigen Rüsseln zu stechen und zu beißen gewohnt sind, von Griphold Knickknack aus Flohland./ Floia, Cortum versicale de flois, swartibus illis deiriculis (...). Auctore Gripholdo Knickknackio, ex Flolandia. Neue Ausgabe. Uebersetzt und mit den nöthigen Anmerkungen und einer Nachschrift versehen von Warbiz. Colberg, C.F. Post, 1843, 67,(3) p., text in (gibberish) Latin and German, original printed wrapper, 12mo (waterstained, paper on spine slightly damaged).

An edition 1830 published by Post also exists, also with (joking?) indication "Neue Ausgabe" while that is likely to be the first printing, earlier editions can not be found. On p. 11 the text of a letter of recommendation begins by "Aeander", dated November 1821. Of our edition, according to Worldcat only the Radboud Universiteit at Nijmegen has a copy, so very rare. With on the back cover the following printed recommendation: "Kauf' und lies das Buch, es wird dir gefallen". We could not have said it better.
