ALCIAT André (1492-1550)
Omnia Andreae Alciati V.C. Emblemata Cum Commentaris : Quibus
Emblematum Omnium Aperta Origine, Mens Auctoris Explicatur, & Obscura Omnia Dubiaque Illustrantur Per Claudium Minoem.
Antuerpiae [Antwerp], Ex Officina Christophori Plantini, 1581. In-12, [*1]-[*6], [2 ff.], [**-**3], 780 pp, [2 bl. ff.], in Latin and Greek. Full brown calf, spine gilt, original lemon morocco title-piece, marbled endpapers (contemporary binding).
New enlarged edition (the original edition had appeared in 1531), the third one by Plantin with the commentary of Claude Mignault. Adorned with an engraved title-frontispiece and 211 woodcut figures in the text.
André Alciat was the first author of a book of emblems, a genre which, thanks to him, enjoyed a considerable fortune. Our edition offers 211 emblems (the last one mistakenly numbered CCXIII).
PROVENANCE Handwritten bookplate in brown ink on added leaf, in German, which mentions Alfred Grenser of Leipzig (unfortunately half torn and thus partially legible)| trace of a bookplate cut out of the endpaper.
(Binding worn: spine damaged, title-piece mostly missing without affecting the reading of the title, heavy spotting and rubbing| wetness, notably a marginal wetness not affecting the title-frontispiece and weakening the paper in the gutter).
