Symbolorum et emblematum ... centuria una [-quatuor]

Camerarius, Joachim, 1534-1598 · 1654 · Frankfort : J. Ammon · 443 pictures

A Latin emblem book by Joachim Camerarius, published at Frankfurt by J. Ammon in 1654, issued as a scholarly collection of moral emblems for learned readers. Its pictures are small circular woodcut-style vignettes, each set in a beaded roundel with a single plant, tree, or animal in a simple landscape, sometimes with a Latin motto below; a designer could draw on their compact, symmetrical framing and clean line hatching for roundel or badge layouts.
