A handsome catalog of 217 titles of books, brochures, articles, and foreign editions in chronological order, to which Rullmann stuck closely in his Kuyper bibliography. The “complete list” prints the publisher, sale price, and reprints. Rullmann wrote that he had corrected a few mistakes in passing and had added a title here and there (cf. RKB 203).

Kuyper invited J.H. Kok to the archive room at his home (cf. 1994.03, p. 36) so that he could survey all the titles together when composing this catalog. Apparently, however, not all Kuyper’s publications were present or readily available on his shelves. In any case, Kuyper published more before 1915 than the editor of the catalog recorded. Kok probably wanted to inventory the archive, which was located next to Kuyper’s study, as quickly as possible. Such expediency coupled with an interest in completeness may explain why, for instance, a title that was never published appears in the list along with a sales price.

The ambitious and interesting publication definitely proved to be an effective way both to promote Kuyper’s works and to call attention to Kok’s purchase of his backlist. Though composed at Kuyper’s request, the catalog also represented the publisher’s salute to its celebrated author.
