A Latin emblem book by the jurist Jakob Bornitz, printed at Heidelberg by Clemens Ammon in 1659 for scholars and readers of moral and political maxims, with German verse below the plates. Each copperplate sets a small scene inside a ring carrying its motto: soldiers, tyrants, ambushes, quarry cliffs, fish traps, walled towns and distant horsemen, ready as circular vignettes and lettered roundels.
