Iacobi Gaffarelli curiositates inauditae, sive selectae observationes de variis superstitionibus ... de figuris talismanicis ...
A 1706 Latin treatise on talismans and superstitions by Jacques Gaffarel, edited by Johann Albert Fabricius and printed at Hamburg for the scholarly reader of its day. The pictures are crude woodcut engravings of numbered astrological and talismanic figures, including winged putti, a star-robed woman with a sphere, a frontal figure in a tower crown, and sirens and tritons, each labelled with a number and set on plain, foxed paper that offers a designer a dense, mysterious bestiary of occult emblems.
