&#13;
"Iani Aubrij Typis" on title-page above imprint is retained from the first edition (Metz, 1584), as is the privilege on page [95] dated Jan. 8, 1584, granted to Jean Aubry, Boissard's father-in-law. Faber published 12mo editions without illustrations in 1585 and 1587. See Praz.&#13;
&#13;
Letterpress title within engraved architectural border. Portrait of Boissard on page 9 is by Alexandre Vallée; see BN graveurs. Each emblem has a head-piece of printer's ornaments on the left-hand page, followed by the text in French verse. At head of the facing right-hand page is a one-line dedication in Latin, followed by the engraved illustration with Latin motto at top and, as a rule, additional text within the illustration. Landwehr ascribes the illustrations to Theodor de Bry, who published German and Latin editions at Frankfurt in 1593, but in BN Graveurs they are ascribed to Adam Fuchs after drawings by Boissard, and the illustration on page 75 is signed with the monogram AF. Below each illustration are two lines made up of contiguous dashes, followed by the Latin quatrain.&#13;
&#13;
Each of the 42 emblematic illustrations after the first two are numbered to the left of the motto at top. Only even numbers are used; they run from 8 to 86, with the 4 illustrations on pages 65-71 (gathering I⁴) numbered irregularly 58, 64, 62, 60. A second sequence of numbers appears at the lower right of the illustrations, again starting with the third emblem, and running from 5 to 40; some of these numbers are transposed, omitted, or imperfectly effaced.&#13;
