- Used
Scarce emblem book with 26 original plates by Bouttats
Jan de Leenheer (1642-1691).
Virgo Maria mystica sub solis imagines emblematicè expressa. [Brussels], s.n., 1681.
4°, [40], 110, [2] pp., with an engraved frontispiece, full-page coat-of-arms, woodcut title-vignette, 26 full-page engravings and woodcut head- and tailpieces. On the title the words Virgo and Maria are arranged in the shape of a cross. 19th century half blonde roan with marbled sides.
Only edition of a Southern Netherlandish Marian emblem book by Jan de Leenheer, illustrated with 26 full-page engravings made by Gaspar Bouttats (1640-1696) for this publication, text in Latin and Dutch. The impressive full-page coat-of-arms face the dedication to Diego-Ferdinand de Villegas baron of Hovorst (1658-1723), a spouse of a Belgian noble count family originally from Spain. Just two titles are known from Jan de Leenheer, both poetry in Latin and Dutch and both about women. The contrast between the works is striking. His first and most common book is known for its disdain for women: Theatrvm stvltorvm joco-serium, sive mvndvs fatvvs emblematicè expressus = Tooneel der sotten, af-beeldende door kluchtighe, maer gestichtighe sinne-spreucken, de sotheydt van de weirel (Brussels, 1669). The present 1681 publication is the rarest, and is remarkably flattering for women. According to a 19th century source this turnaround happened because De Leenheer got very ill after the first work, but he recovered and wrote the second work as a saving grace towards Maria (see Witsen Geysbeek).

Along with Juvenal, Persius was one of the greatest 1st century Roman satirists. His works consisted of elements of stoicism and were greatly influenced by Horace and Juvenal, in fact the satires of both Juvenal and Persius are often found published together. In his 'Satires', Persius sought a few major philosophical ideas:
·
important questions to ask the gods
·
the meaning of life
·
the importance of gaining knowledge
·

the proper use of money

This book is bound with another early Roce printing of Baptista Mantuanus poetry. Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant… Read More
