A Latin emblem book by the Milanese jurist Andrea Alciati with Claude Mignault's commentary, printed by Christopher Plantin at Antwerp in 1584 for scholars and schoolboys reading moral allegory. The 216 small square woodcuts set single scenes in hatched landscapes: classical gods, personifications, punished figures, animals and trees, each usable as a compact motif, vignette or spot illustration.
