| Item Description: | Title in map. "G54"--Upper right corner. 3 coats of arms; 2 male figures in foreground. Appears in: Thesaurus philo-politicus. Meisner's emblem book, containing over 800 pictorial-poetic compositions, was popular throughout Europe in the 17th century. The plan views were based on the work of De Bry, Braun & Hogenberg, Merian and others with the addition of emblematic figures or scenes in the foreground, juxtaposed with moralizing and edifying verses beneath the image and a Latin motto at top. It was originally issued with 52 plates as the Thesaurus philo-politicus in 1623-24. After Meisner's death in 1625, Eberhard Kieser, with assistance from Johann L. Gottfried, completed the work and published it until 1631. The plates then appeared in the eight parts of Sciographia Cosmica published by Paulus Furst between 1637-78. The plates for these editions were renumbered alphanumerically in the upper right corners -A-H (identifying the 8 parts) and 1-100 (plate number).--Bookseller. The Cushing Library copy is part of the Ronald L. and V. Jane Woellhof Rare Map Collection. |
