ZINCGREF, Julius Wilhelm. Emblematum ethico-politicorum centuria. Frankfurt: P. Mareschall, 1624.
4° (192 x 143mm). Engraved title and 100 engraved circular copperplates by Matthaus Merian, each accompanied by a quatrain in French. (Some leaves browned or spotted, B4v and Y1v ink stained, a few lighter stains elsewhere.) Contemporary vellum with red morocco lettering-piece (slightly bowed, slight scuffing, ties lacking). Provenance: Oliver Pemberton (bookplate) -- A.H. Bright (bookplate dated 1912).
Second edition of this beautiful emblem book, first published in 1619. After seeing the works of Martin Optiz, Zincgref suppressed his own German verses and instead used French verses written by his friends to accompany Merian's plates (later editions were to print both his German verses and the French). The explanatory prose text is in Latin. Merian's pictures are finely drawn, and frequently contain well-known city views in the background, one of Syracuse with mount Aetna in eruption, and several with the city and castle of Heidelberg, Zincgref's home town. Landwehr German, 654; Praz p. 542; cf. Faber du Faur 191 (first edition).
