D. Ioannis de Solorzano Pereira ... Emblemata centum, regio politica : Aeneis laminis affabre caelata, vividisque, et limatis carminibus explicita, & singularibus commentariis affatim illutrata : quibus, quicquid ad regum institutionem, et rectam reip. administrationem conducere, & pertinere videtur, summo studio disseritur ... cùm quadruplici indice absolutissimo ...
A Latin emblem book of a hundred emblems on kingship and government, written by the Spanish jurist Juan de Solórzano Pereira and printed in Madrid by Gregorio Morrás in 1653 for princes, magistrates and administrators of the Spanish empire. Alongside the copperplate emblem scenes the pages carry woodcut initials filled with tulips, foliage and ribbon strapwork, and headpieces built from scrolls, studded volutes, lion masks and reclining half-figures holding fruit baskets, all usable as small ornaments and drop caps.
