Fama postuma, de virtutibus heroicis : quibus serenissima princeps ac domina D. Maria Archidux Austriae, Rheni Palatina vtriusque Bauariae Dux, et serenissimi quondam principis ac domini D. Caroli Archducis Austriae, Burgundiae, Styriae, Carinthiae, Carniolae Ducis Coniux, postea vidua augustam memoriae semper foelicis immortalitatem viuens moriens meruit
A Latin memorial emblem book printed at Graz in Styria by Georg Widmanstetter in 1609, compiled by Johannes Heumont to commemorate the virtues of Maria of Bavaria, Archduchess of Austria and widow of Archduke Charles, for the Habsburg court and its learned readers. Oval copperplate emblems set a triumphal chariot in changing settings, pulled by stags, dolphins or eagles past tombs, crescent moons, star fields and zodiac beasts, each corner carrying a monogram cartouche; useful for hatched cloud and water textures, circular frames and empty-throne motifs.
