Snyders, Michael, Schoor, Gillis van, b. 1596, Mallery, Karel van, 1571-ca. 1635 · 1626 · Antuerpiæ : Apud Michaelem Snyders · 57 pictures

An emblem book printed in Antwerp in 1626 by Michael Snyders, pairing Latin scripture and patristic quotations with French verse for Counter-Reformation devotional readers. The small square copperplate engravings stage Divine Love as a haloed child against a winged Cupid and a female soul, with crosses, bows and arrows, lutes, baskets, tool-strewn ground and grotesque demons, giving designers compact figure groups and clean linear shading on blank ground.
