About This Item

[10], 200, [4] pp. & 100 ll.First edition of a German emblem book addressing virtues and vices in 100 emblems, compiled by the German preacher Abraham a Sancta Clara (born Johan Ulrich Mergerle; 1644 - 1709). As the title states, the book's purpose is to refresh the reader's virtues and to deter from vices by way of emblems. The concepts are explained in well-known fables and accessible symbols and allegories, like the sun, moon, fire, sea, weather, seasons, metals, gems, animals etc. Each concept is illustrated in an emblem accompanied by a motto in Latin and a poem in German and Latin. The emblems were engraved by Christoph Weigel after illustrations by Caspar and Jan Luyken from the Ethica Naturalis (ca. 1700). Each emblem is followed by two pages of text explaining the emblem.With a library inscription on flyleaf. Some marginal thumbing, occasional foxing and some occasional spots and smudges. Binding slightly soiled. Otherwise in good condition.l Landwehr, German emblem books 11; Faber du Faur 1125; Goedeke III, 25, 240.
