An emblem book of moral and political mottoes by the German jurist Jakob Bornitz, printed at Mainz in 1669 for learned readers of Latin. Each engraving sits in a ring carrying its motto, with small figures in ruffs and breeches, grain mills, sprouting plants, and hilltop towns behind; useful for circular badges, banner-text rings, and stock landscape backdrops.
