Tractatus posthumus Jani Jacobi Boissardi Vesvuntini de divinatione et magicis præstigiis: quarum veritas ac vanitas solidè exponitur per descriptionem deorum fatidicorum qui olim responsa dederunt; eorundemque prophetarum, sacerdotum, Phoebadum, Sibyllarum et divinorum qui priscis temporibus celebres oraculis exstiterunt / Adjunctis simul omnium effigiebus, ab ipso autore ... delineatis ; jam ... æri incisis per Joh. Theodor. de Bry
Jean-Jacques Boissard's posthumous Latin treatise on divination and magical illusion, published at Oppenheim in 1611 by Hieronymus Galler with copperplates engraved by Johann Theodor de Bry after the author's own drawings, for scholars of oracles and antiquities. Each plate sets a single standing figure — sibyl, augur, priest — in heavy drapery and tall headdress beside an inscribed pedestal or altar, with a small vision in the clouds above, a laurel or shrub at the side, and a two-line Latin verse below; useful for costumed allegorical figures, lapidary inscription panels, and the woodcut foliate headbands above the titles.
