Encuadernación de tapa dura. Condition: Muy bien. Large folio (358 x 230 mm). (20), 208, 27, 1 bl., (8), 50 pp., (1). Title page printed in red and black featuring a large engraved printer's device, a full-page portrait of the author, one folding plate depicting the "Tabula Cebetis" (Table of Cebes), and 103 large, half-page engraved emblems. Bound in contemporary leather, this is the third and most highly regarded Spanish edition of this monumental emblem book by the celebrated Flemish painter and humanist Otto van Veen (1556-1629), widely known as Otto Venius. Active in Antwerp and Brussels during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, Venius produced what is now recognized as one of the most beautiful emblem books ever published in the Spanish language. This particularly attractive edition is highly sought after by collectors because it was printed using markedly superior paper and typography compared to the two earlier editions, the first of which appeared in 1672. Emblem books are didactic, illustrated works containing a series of symbolic images paired with explanatory texts; in Spain, this literary genre predominantly focused on moral and religious themes, with notable exceptions like Diego de Saavedra Fajardo and Juan de Solórzano, who tailored their emblems specifically to instruct princes and rulers in the art of good governance. Furthermore, this volume is distinguished by the inclusion of Epictetus's "Enchiridion," a collection of lectures by the Stoic philosopher recorded by his pupil Arrian in the early second century. Epictetus's philosophy guided his students to master their opinions, anxieties, passions, and desires so they might "never fail to obtain what they desire, nor fall into what they avoid," texts that were first printed in Greek by Vettore Trincavelli in Venice in 1535. The book also features the aforementioned "Table of Cebes," an ethical-philosophical text written as a dialogue during the Roman imperial era, which uses ekphrasis to describe the arduous journey of human life—a journey vividly represented in the volume's large folding plate. This is a very good, well-preserved copy, elegantly presented in its original binding.…

One of the most famous books of emblems of the seventeenth century, designed and illustrated by the Flemish painter and art theorist Otto van Veen (1550-1629). First printed in quarto format in 1607. The Dutch verses are by A. Jansen van Ter Goes. Van Veen had studied for seven years under Federigo Zuccari at Rome. Settling in Antwerp in 1593, he began painting for the churches and public buildings, and for several years, from 1596 to 1600, numbered Rubens among his pupils. His work attracted the admiration and patronage of the Archduke Albert, who succeeded the Prince of Parma in the government of the Low Countries. He published three other emblem books, 'Amorum Emblemata' (1608), 'Amoris Divini Emblemata' (1615) and 'Emblemata Sive Sybola' (1624). Not in Mills College Check List or Riedel-Horatiana.

First and only edition of one of the lesser-known emblem books by the Dutch painter and poet Otto Vaenius (1556-1629). It contains a diverse selection of emblems, which, according to the title, were meant for princes, clergymen, military men and others. Each emblem is accompanied by a motto in Latin above and short captions in Latin and French can be found on the accompanying letterpress pages.Today Vaenius is best known as a teacher of Peter Paul Rubens and for his role in the development of the genre of emblemata, in particular the love emblems. His Amorum Emblemata is "one of the most important Dutch emblematical works. It firmly established Vaenius as a leading emblematist after his glorious beginning with the famous moral-philosophical neo-stoic Emblemata Horatiana (1607)" (Van der Weij).Browned throughout with a few small spots.

Attractive copy of a splendidly illustrated edition combining Otto Vaenius's Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata and Le Roy Sieur de Gomberville's La doctrine des Moeurs, tiree de la philosophie des Stoiques. Pierre Daret had made the emblems in De Gomberville's work based on Vaenius's, enlarging and slightly improving them after the latest fashion. The Brussels publisher had probably acquired Daret's plates, and used them again in the present edition, returning the authorship to Vaenius, while also retaining De Gomberville's instructive comments. In this perfect combination of Vaenius' educational emblems and Gomberville's moral doctrine based on stoic philosophers and explained for the instruction of youth, the quotations from Horace made into emblems became popular again.Slightly browned with some marginal thumbing.

4to (240 x 192mm). 212pp., [2]. 103 full-page engravings attributed to his brother and artist Gijsbert van Veen (1562-1628). Title with engraved oval portrait of Horace. Contemporary vellum, paneled in blind with raised bands; (title thumb-soiled, worming to lower margins worst at final few quires; modern endpapers, hinges strengthened, upper joint cracked at head and foot, covers slightly bowed). Otto Vaenius was a painter, draughtsman, and humanist flourishing in Brussels in the late 16th and early 17th century. He is known for running a large studio in Antwerp, producing several emblem books, and for being Peter Paul Rubens's teacher from 1594 to 1598. Horatian emblem books were received with resounding enthusiasm in the early modern period. The large and complex symbolic images meant to relay the basic precepts of humanist morality and celebrate Horatian virtues in society. Copies of this book were pirated by authors in Holland, France, Spain, Italy and England. This 1612 reprint of the original 1607 publication may be such an edition with explanatory text printed in Spanish, Dutch, Italian and French in the lower portion of preceding page.

Amsterdam, Justus Dankerts, 1683, (8),205,(3) pag., engraved portrait vignette of Horace on title, 103 engraved emblems by Otto van Veen, early 20th cent. halfvellum, small quarto (21,7 x 16,5 cm.). = Landwehr Emblem books, 690 ("Copperplates from the Latin 1607 edition, reduced and reversed"). Rare first edition of this famous emblem book by Dutch poet Anthoni Jansen, based on the Antwerp 1607 Latin text edition of Otto van Veen's enduringly popular Quinti Horatii Flacci Emblemata, illustrating the poems of Horace, with verses in Dutch, Latin, and French. This emblematical work by Van Veen constituted a significant development in the design and conceptualization of emblem books as well as the optimization of their didactic impact. By transposing the works of the Roman poet Horace into innovative images through prints of a high technical quality the work could be used for philosophical and moral meditation. Van Veen was a painter, draughtsman and humanist, primarily active in Antwerp and Brussels. He is known for his paintings of religious and mythological scenes, allegories and portraits, which he produced in his large workshop in Antwerp, where from 1594 or 1595 to 1598 he was amongst others the teacher of Peter Paul Rubens and proved himself influential as an educated humanist artist (doctor pictus) on Rubens.
