Summary

This work by Jeremias Held is the second German translation of the emblems of Andrea Alciato, who is rightfully known as pater et princes of the emblem. The first German translation was written by Wolfgang Hunger and published by Chrestien Wechel in a bi-lingual Latin-German edition in Paris in 1542. Hunger's German version was reprinted in facsimile in 1967 and 1980. Held's version of 1566-67, presented here, has never before been offered in its entirety in a modern reprint. It, too, is a bi-lingual edition with the Latin texts followed by Held's German version. However, the two prefaces are in German alone. Held's version contains 132 woodcuts in text to Alciato's 212 emblems. The facsimile reprint has been done from Glasgow University Library SM 45. Dual Language: Latin-German.
