Taurellus, Nicolaus, 1547-1606, Lochner, Christoph, fl. 1588-1614, printer, Lochner, Christoph, fl. 1588-1614, printer. · 1602 · Noribergae : Typis Christophori Lochneri · 127 pictures

A Latin emblem book of moral lessons drawn from nature, written in verse by the physician-philosopher Nicolaus Taurellus and printed at Nuremberg by Christoph Lochner in 1602 for scholarly readers. Each small woodcut sets a single figure or animal in a hatched landscape of hills, walled towns and trees, with a strapwork shield of arms wedged into one corner—usable as compact vignettes, heraldic frames and stylised cloud and foliage texture.
