[VAENIUS] Emblems of Divine Love. Paris, Landry, 1738. In-12 - Lot 51
[VAENIUS] Emblems of Divine Love. Paris, Landry, 1738. In-12 contemporary brown calf, spine ribbed and decorated (corners restored). Engraved title and 34 full-page engraved emblems. A delightful book of emblems engraved by Landry, adapted from Vaenius' "Amoris divini emblemata" (1608), but with a different French text from the earlier editions. The emblems in this suite feature angels. This iconography "populated with little loves (.) is a model of suavity" (Chatelain) which had a great success in the spiritual literature of the time. Nice copy.
