Five neo-classical studies reflecting the wide range of interests of the celebrated Flemish humanist Joest Lips (1547-1606), who initiated the renewed study of Roman military methods in the Netherlands. The essay on the Greatness of Rome in dialogue form contains several chapters of military interest: book 2, ch.10 on the public expenses of maintaining an army, book 4, ch. 3 on justice and clemency in war, and book 4, ch. 4 on the strength of the Roman army. The treatise on public spectacles or gladiatorial games remains a valuable source for our knowledge of ancient combat. The evocative engraved illustrations by Otto Vaenius (1556-1629), a teacher of Rubens, include: folding plates showing 'meridiani' armed with swords only fighting at a banquet for the entertainment of guests, gladiators performing at a funeral, sham-fighting with wooden staves and fighting to the death with swords in an amphitheatre; half-page engravings depicting a variety of combats: women and dwarfs (favoured by the emperor Domitian), a 'retirarius' or net fighter armed with a trident against a 'secutor' or heavily armed swordsman, a 'mirmillon' with helmet, shield and sword against a Thracian with buckler and curved dagger, a Samnite with body amour, oblong shield and short sword, essedarians throwing javelins from chariots, 'andabatae' or horsemen with closed helmets and spears, 'dimachaeri' with swords in both hands, 'lacearii' with lasso and sword, 'postulaticii' or heavily armed prize fighters who made only special appearances, and 'catervarii' who fought in bands. The famous study of Roman amphitheatres, here in the last edition corrected by the author, is dedicated to the great geographer Abraham Ortelius (Funck, p354 & Fowler 183 (note). The plates show the Colosseum with gladiatorial games in progress, and the theatres of Verona, Pola, Nîmes, and Doué. The study of the Vestal Virgins, illustrated with delicate engravings of coins and cameos, is followed by a description of great libraries of the ancient world in Egypt, Greece and Rome. Lipsius, a professor at Louvain, was a close friend of Plantin and his successor Moretus, who between them, published nearly all of his works.

Brossura. Etat : nuovo. Edited by Agnès Guiderdoni-Bruslé, Ralph Dekoninck, Aline Smeesters. Pages: 108 p.Illustrations:44 b/w Language(s):Latin, French. Publication Year:2018. Brepols. ISBN: 978-2-503-56966-6. Paperback --- SUMMARY Le peintre Otto Vaenius (Leyde 1556 Bruxelles 1629) n'a longtemps été connu que comme le maître de Rubens. Depuis quelques décennies, le regain des études emblématiques a remis à l'honneur ses recueils à succès : Emblemata Horatiana, Amorum Emblemata et Amoris Divini Emblemata. Mais certains de ses ouvrages plus confidentiels restent encore largement méconnus. Tel est le cas des Physicae et theologicae conclusiones (1621), un petit opuscule d'une vingtaine de pages publié dans des circonstances mystérieuses, qui se propose rien moins que de résoudre « par des notes et des figures » le problème de la prédestination et du libre arbitre un sujet alors brûlant, qui a d'ailleurs valu à l'auteur des problèmes avec l'Inquisition. Mais l'intérêt de l'opuscule va bien au-delà de l'enjeu théologique : par l'invention d'un langage visuel inédit et déroutant (à mi-chemin entre le géométrique et le figuratif, entre le diagramme et l'emblème), ainsi que par plusieurs chapitres explicitement consacrés aux pouvoirs des images et de l'imagination, l'ouvrage offre une étonnante clé de lecture à l'ensemble de l'uvre de Vaenius, et constitue en même temps un témoignage frappant de la créativité d'une époque en pleine mutation épistémologique. La présente édition propose une reproduction en fac-similé de cet opuscule rarissime ainsi que, pour la première fois, une traduction intégrale en langue française. Le texte est précédé d'une introduction nourrie, fruit d'une collaboration entre cinq chercheurs croisant des approches historiques, littéraires, artistiques et sémiotiques. Les Conclusiones sont ainsi remises dans le contexte de leur époque, au cur des querelles théologiques mais aussi au croisement de deux courants de pensée majeurs qui ont imprégné la réflexion de Vaenius, le néo-stoïcisme de Juste Lipse et l'alchimie de Paracelse ; dans un second temps, elles sont étudiées en profondeur dans leur rapport particulier aux images, qui apparaissent à la fois comme le moyen et l'objet de la démonstration proposée. Enfin, l'ouvrage se clôture par une série d'outils facilitant la consultation de l'ensemble : trois index (des noms propres, des passages bibliques, des notions françaises et latines) ainsi qu'une abondante bibliographie.…

One of the most famous books of emblems of the seventeenth century, designed and illustrated by the Flemish painter and art theorist Otto van Veen (1550-1629). First printed in quarto format in 1607. The Dutch verses are by A. Jansen van Ter Goes. Van Veen had studied for seven years under Federigo Zuccari at Rome. Settling in Antwerp in 1593, he began painting for the churches and public buildings, and for several years, from 1596 to 1600, numbered Rubens among his pupils. His work attracted the admiration and patronage of the Archduke Albert, who succeeded the Prince of Parma in the government of the Low Countries. He published three other emblem books, 'Amorum Emblemata' (1608), 'Amoris Divini Emblemata' (1615) and 'Emblemata Sive Sybola' (1624). Not in Mills College Check List or Riedel-Horatiana.

In 4?oblungo (mm 155x200); pagg. 247, (1); 124 tavv. con putti che recitano motti e citazioni di poeti, filosofi e scrittori antichi sul potere dell'Amore entro ovali a piena pagina di emblemi al recto di ogni pagg., incise finemente in rame da C. Boel, a fianco testo (quartine a stampa) in latino, italiano e francese. Piena pelle coeva marezzata con dorso a cinque nervi e scomparti con fregi dorati, eseguiti a piccoli ferri; tagli spruzzati. Ottimo esemplare su carta forte, alcune pagg. arrossate. Prima edizione.Amorum Emblemata fu pubblicato nel 1608 ad Anversa da Hieronymus Verdussen in tre diverse versioni poliglotte: una in latino, olandese e francese, una in latino, italiano e francese e una in latino, inglese e italiano. Il fratello di Rubens, Philip Rubens, che era uno studioso di lettere classiche, scrisse la prefazione a questo libro in latino. Le massime sull'amore che accompagnano e interpretano le immagini sono per lo pi? tratte da Ovidio. Rivolti ai giovani, gli emblemi descrivono l'amore come una forza irresistibile a cui bisogna obbedire per ottenere la felicit? L'Amorum emblemata divenne nel XVII secolo uno dei libri pi? influenti dell'epoca, non solo come modello per altri libri di emblemi fiamminghi/olandesi e stranieri, ma anche come fonte di ispirazione per molti artisti in altri campi.Praz 524: "Questo libro Ë tra i pi? popolari della letteratura emblematica" e Landwehr VI, 744: "uno dei primi libri di emblemi d'amore" Funck 404.
