First published 1624. As described by Landwehr, the 1636 ed. is the same as the 1st, except that the imprint on the engraved t.p. was changed to read: Den tweeden druck, Amsterdam, I. E. Kloppenburgh, 1636. The present copy corresponds rather to Praz's description of the 1636 ed., with 378 rather than 360 p., an additional 52nd emblem, and the "zedespreucken" at the end Emblematic engravings by Christof Le Blon, Johann Gelle, Willem van de Passe, Albert Poel and Jan Gerrits Swelinck, all after Adriaen van de Venne.
