Description

Engraved title, and 103 engraved emblems. (12) leaves, 831 pp., 2 leaves. 12mo. Contemp. vellum. Amsterdam, Jan Schipper, 1659. A nice copy of a work in which maxims of state policy are conveyed through the media of picture, motto, and commentary, in emblem-book style. Praz calls this work "a most remarkable treatise of political devices". The author (1584-1648) was a Spanish statesman and wrote the book for Infante Baltasar, son of Philip IV of Spain. The ideas in the book reveal a Christian and humanist spirit and contrast with Machiavellian maxims of statecraft. The book was very popular, and was translated into many languages. This is the 6th Latin edition. - Palau 283483; Praz, p. 484.
