It is not clear why this intention was never realized; neither [[Collection LV|LV]], not the Universiteitsbibliotheek at Leuven have any Holm material (inf. E. Petit). #### Bibliography and biography AG 3(2): 179, 3(3): 197; Barnhart 2: 194; BJI 1: 28, 2: 79; BL 1: 138, 154, 170, 172; Bossert p. 180; CSP 15: 915; Hortus 3: 1195 ("H.T.
