This collected manuscript comprises a series of copies of plays and eulogies dating from the 17th century. It represents the repertoire of the chamber of rhetoric 'De Goudbloem' (The Marigold) of Sint-Niklaas. 'De Goudbloem Sint-Niklaas' first appears as 'De Rethorisienen van Temssche ende Sente Niclaus' (The Rhetoricians of Temse and Saint Nicholas) in the context of their participation in the fair procession in Dendermonde in August 1529. The chamber was baptised on 10 February 1537, by 'De Fonteine' from Ghent. In 1610, the chamber was recognized by De Fonteine as the principal chamber of the Land of Waas, granting it the right to baptise new chambers within its territory. In 1611, it baptised the chambers of Elversele and Nieuwkerken.

The sculpture is carved with a sense of realism and expression. The figure's weary facial expression and the heavy drapery imbue it with an individual, compelling force. The original polychromy has been fairly well preserved. For centuries, the sculpture has been part of a whole with the statue of Apostle Philip and the Saint George statue within the same altarpiece, thus forming part of one of the most impressive sculpted ensembles from the 15th century within the rich interior of the Saint Leonard Church.
