Antipathia Amoris Divini et Humani duobus Libris comprehensa, per themata et sententias, insuper et Figuras aeneas, adjectis versibus Gallicis et Hispanicis, illustrata, antehac Antuerpiae Typis data

1694 · [Salisburgi] · 86 pictures

A 1694 emblem book printed in Salzburg, compiled from an earlier Antwerp edition, offering moralising Latin-titled scenes with French and Spanish verses for devout readers. The pictures are small engraved vignettes of religious and allegorical scenes, with haloed holy figures, a devil and Cupid, set in simple landscapes with dense cross-hatched shading that suggests strong contrast and stagey composition for a designer studying early engraved narrative.
