An emblem book compiled by Gabriel Rollenhagen with engravings by Crispijn van de Passe, published in Cologne and Arnhem in 1611 for learned readers who collected mottoes and moralized images. Each plate is a circular engraving with a Latin motto lettered around the rim, enclosing landscapes, laboring figures, erupting globes, Sisyphus at his stone, sun rays over fields, and towns on distant hills, offering roundel formats, hand-lettered ring inscriptions, and finely hatched scenery.
