Hōrou Apollōnos Neilōou Hieroglyphika eklekta = : Hori Apollinis selecta hieroglyphica, sive sacrae notae Aegyptiorum, & insculptae imagines

Horapollo · 1597 · apud Aloysium Zannettum · 180 pictures

This is a 1597 Latin and Greek edition of Horapollo's Hieroglyphica, printed in Rome by Aloysius Zannetti for scholars interested in Egyptian symbols. Its small woodcuts show animals, plants and natural scenes, each framed as a single emblem; a designer could draw on their compact, hatched linework and the way a simple figure sits in a rectangular field.
