Emblemata d'A. Alciati : denuo ab ipso autore recognita ac, quae desiderabantur, imaginibus locupletata : accesserunt noua aliquot ab autore emblemata, suis quoque eiconibus insignita

Book cover
Colophon: Lugduni, Excudebat Mathias Bonhomme Woodcuts by Pierre Eskrich, in the style of Bernard Salomon. Many of the four-block borders with grotesque, strap-work or architectural elements are signed PV, probably for Pierre Vase, i.e. Eskrich. The t.p. border incorporating Rouillé's eagle and serpent device is probably by him as well. The section at the end entitled "Arbores" (O3r-P1v) makes use of ill. from Leonhard Fuchs' De historia stirpium (1549). For all the preceding, cf. Mortimer, R., French 16th-cent., 15 and 16 Signatures: A-0 P (P4 blank) "Index emblematvm in locos commvnes digestorvm": p. [1]-[4] at end Binding: modern vellum.
