Amsterdam: J. Jamssonium, 1651. First Edition. 12mo. Item #016220
432p. 17 engravings of emblems with chart. Professor Boxhorn of Leiden was both a classical history professor and an expert in philology. His emblems here are set in terms of 17th Century attire and buildings.. Mario Praz, Studies in seventeenth century imagery, p. 285. Emblem VI is erroneously labeled V as is evidenced by V which precedes it. (A new possibly pirated edition came out the same year without noting place or publisher). Bound in full vellum, title on spine in brown ink, all edges blue, some soiling to vellum as usual. A very nice copy.
