Vincentii Chartarii Rhegiensis Imagines deorum, qui ab antiquis colebantur : unâ cum earum declaratione & historia in qua simulacra, ritus, caeremoniae magnaque ex parte veterum religio explicatur ... : hinc inde
A 1687 Frankfurt edition of Vincenzo Cartari's illustrated handbook of classical gods, edited by Paulus Hachenberg and printed for Ludovico Bourgeat, presenting each deity with numbered engraved emblems and explanatory text for scholars and readers of mythology. The small engraved plates show gods and personified figures in a plain line style, with attributes such as wheels, spears, serpents, torches and fruit placed beside each figure, offering a designer a clear vocabulary of classical symbols and staging.
