Encomium musices quod ex Sacris Litteris concinnabat Philip. Gallaeus. Iconibus exprimebat pictor celeberrimus Io. Stradanas. Versibus illustrabat doctissimus Io. Bochius, urbi Antverp. à secretis
This is a 1600 Antwerp print series by Philips Galle after designs by Jan van der Straet (Stradanus), with verses by Jan Bochius, on music in the Bible, produced for scholars and collectors of prints. The engravings show scenes from scripture, each framed by a Latin verse text beneath, and reward designers studying Netherlandish Mannerist crowding, dense hatching, and the staging of sacred narrative.
