Speculum imaginum veritatis occultae, exhibens symbola, emblemata, hieroglyphica, aenigmata, omni tam materiae, quam forma varietate ...
Speculum imaginum veritatis occultae is a 1714 Latin emblem book by the Jesuit Jacob Masen, published by Jacobi Promper, and aimed at scholars and readers of emblematic and symbolic imagery. Its pictures are small woodcut still lifes of flower baskets, fruit-laden compotes, and vases, with dense hatched shading that a designer could borrow for ornamental borders or botanical-style decoration.
