= Landwehr (German) 380 (under Kilian, Cornelis); Fairfax Murray (German) 427. The fine etchings by Gheeraerts were first printed in De Dene's De warachtige Fabulen der dieren (Bruges, 1567. Landwehr 189; Praz I, p.314f), then used in Arnold Freitag's Mythologia ethica, hoc est moralis philosophiae per fabulas brutis attributas traditae amoenissimum viridarium (Antw., Plantijn, 1579. Landwehr 239; Praz p.341); the present edition is a reissue of Freitag's work by George Muting, w. three additional emblems. Cf. Bodemann I, 39.1, 48.1 and 51.1. A very rare and beautifully illustrated complete copy (only one other complete copy traced in the trade). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXV.

= Although numbered 1-52, the emblems are divided into 3 parts: 24 to "Het ambacht van Cupido", 24 emblems to "Emblemata amatoria" and the final 4 emblems to "Nederduytsche Poemata". Landwehr refers to the article in De Gulden Passer (1927), p.12-21, titled "Niet bestaande of uiterst zeldzaam geworden drukken van D. Heinsius", which identifies this edition as follows: " (...) dat de Amsterdamsche uitgave z. jt. der Emblemata Amatoria [...] een herdruk, onder miniatuur-formaat (9,5×7,4 cm.), van de Leidsche uitgave 1613 (19,4×14,9 cm.) is, verjongd echter door middel van nieuw gegraveerde prentjes (...), die als voor dit miniatuur-formaat speciaal schijnen gemaakt te zijn en verder in de Nederduytsche Poemata 1616 voorkomen; (...) we hier te doen hebben met eene uitgave, die, wat dagteekening betreft, nauw aansluit bij de Nederduytsche Poemata 1616". Very rare and fine impressions of the plates. NB: different typesetting and stronger impressions in comparison to the other edition (the following lot) offered in our rooms this auction. This work possibly an unrecorded different edition? SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXVI.

Contains a fine portrait of an inebriated Bacchus. On the first edition of this hymn to Bacchus (publ. Leyden, 1615), see Oberlé, Fastes 1032: "(...) Heinsius semble avoir eu une tendresse particulière pour le dieu du vin car, déjà en 1610, il donnait une dissertation sur les Dionysiaques du grand poète grec de la décadence, Nonnos.
