Elegantissimorum emblematum corpusculum Latinis Belgicisque versibus elucidatum. Versameling van uytgeleesene sinne-beelden met latynse en nederduitse verklaringen in rym
An emblem book printed in 1696 at Leiden by Pieter van der Aa, a bilingual Latin and Dutch collection of moral picture-riddles meant for educated readers who enjoyed symbolic puzzles. The engraved plates are small circular vignettes of allegorical scenes, each with a motto and verse beneath, and a designer could draw on their compact circular framing and tidy emblematic device style.
