Viridarium hieroglyphico-morale. In quo ... mores huius aevi ... explicantur, & non tantum dictis, & exemplis historiarum veterum ac recentium, ex sacris scripturis, sanctis Patribus, seu Dd. ecclesiae, poetis, philosophis, historicis cum Christianorum tum gentilium, sed etiam artificiosissimis eiconibus hieroglyphicis illustrantur
A Latin emblem book by Henricus Oraeus, printed by Lucas Jennis at Frankfurt in 1619, setting moral commentary on the age beside classical and scriptural exempla for learned Christian readers. The 91 plates are small engraved allegories in dense cross-hatching: personified virtues, skeletons with bows, hands reaching from clouds, terrestrial globes, hellmouths and crowds of tiny figures, useful as cut-out emblem motifs, stipple-and-line shading textures, and compact framed compositions.
