Dealer Notes
Part 4 of the influential Emblemata series (Emblems chrestiennes et morales) by Zacharias Heyns (Antwerp 1566-1638?). Zacharias Heyns, son of Pierre, was also active as a publisher, bookseller and printer in Amsterdam and later on in Zwolle. Some texts and emblems he used are repeated by Maria Heynsz - no relative - in 'Bloemhof'. Although often found bound together each part is paginated separately and has its own titlepage. The book is in the form of a dialogue between Philosophia evangelica, Opinio perversa, Volupas, Humilitas, Superbia etc. First and only edition. [c.f. Landwehr, Emblembooks (1970) #208 & Emblem & Fable Books (1988) # 309; Praz p. 368; Stirling Maxwell Coll. Glasgow # 810].
