Mundi lapis lydius, siue, Emblemata moralia nobilissimi viri D. Antonii A. Burgundia ... : in quibus vanitas per veritatem falsi accusatur & conuincitur
Mundi lapis lydius is a 1665 Latin emblem book printed in Antwerp by the Galle press, with moral emblems attributed to Antoine de Bourgogne and engravings linked to Abraham van Diepenbeeck, made for a learned readership. Its oval plates pair Vanitas with Veritas captions and show ruined buildings, a bustling street scene, and a figure dining in an arcaded room, with Latin mottoes beneath each image that a designer could use for allegorical framing.
