Jacobi Bornitii Emblemata ethico politica
Jacobi Bornitii Emblemata ethico politica is a 1669 emblem book by Jakob Bornitz, with German verse added by Nicolaus Meerfeldt, published by Ludwig Bourgeat in Mainz for a German-reading audience. Each page pairs a Latin motto and a hand-coloured circular copper engraving with a German rhyming epigram beneath it. The circular vignettes show small landscapes with towns, hills and figures inside a ring of lettering, a compact format a designer could adapt for roundels, badges or framed scene borders.
