Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 24 mo; contemporary vellum. Engraved title; pp 272 + (16) index. This printing is one of Bonaventura and Abraham Elzevir's famed pocket editions of significant texts, initiated in 1629 during an expansion of the press. The aim was to ensure wide circulation of accurate texts for everyday use, and the books were printed with engraved title-pages, narrow margins, and a distinctive font of type, cut by Christoffel van Dijck, whose influence on subsequent typographers endured well into the 19th century. This is an enlarged edition of an important botanical work, of particular interest in that it includes information relating to American plants. Front flyleaf torn; a couple of early ownership marks and signatures, and a stamp from botanical society in Munich. Clean text throughout.

8vo. (II),8,112,(2) p. Contemporary grey boards. 23 cm (Details: Engraving on the title, designed by Willem Bilderdijk and executed by Elizabeth Schmetterling; depicted are an ancre, a cross and a torch, in the center is a mirror with a heart on top, the 'hartspiegel' (mirror of the heart); a snake, coiling around the ancre, and going underneath the cross, bites in the hilt of the torch; the motto, placed left and right of the mirror, reads 'elk . hem zelf', where the mirror stands also for the verb 'mirror'; the meaning of this constellation is explained by Bilderdijk at the end of the preface, where he ends: 'Ik sluit met de spreuk onzes Zeeuwschen Hoofddichters (Jacob Cats, 1577-1660) 'Elk spiegele hem-zelven'; Bilderdijk refers here to the motto on the title page of Cat's collection of Dutch proverbs 'Spiegel van den ouden ende nieuwen tijdt' (The Hague 1632). Is this snake the snake of paradise, trying to steal the torch, but being crushed by the Cross?) (Condition: Binding worn at the extremes. Back dustsoiled) (Note: Hendrik Laurenszoon Spieghel, or Spiegel, 1549-1612, is one of the most important writers and thinkers in the Dutch Republic during the turn of the 16th and 17th century. He is seen as a forerunner to the Dutch Golden Age, with giants as Vondel, Hooft and Huygens. Spieghel's principal work is the Hart-spiegel or Hertspieghel (Mirror of the Heart) published posthumously in 1614. In this didactic and moralistic poetic work Spieghel expounds his views on the human condition and how to lead a virtuous life. The essential idea of ??the Hertspiehel is that virtue makes a man happy and that this is in itself a reward. To accomplish this, the author submits the inner life of man (himself) to a precise reflection. Spieghel upholds the freedom of will. Self-knowledge is the foundation of self-development, and the starting point for achieving virtue. § Spieghel is a difficult poet, who loves to use archaic words and invent neologisms, and who is difficult reading for those who are not familiar with the Bible, classical antiquity and ancient literature. His style is obscure, complex and concise, and sometimes lacks clarity. But once the reader has grown accustomed to Spieghel's style and views, it is clear that the Hertspieghel, which voices opinions of the pre 1600 generation, is one of the first modern Dutch poems. For this work Spieghel asked the usual approbation of the Roman Catholic Church, and for this purpose he sent the manuscript to Louvain, but it was returned without the necessary approbation, with the remark that the work was incomprehensible. Still it found readers who were interested in Spieghels ethics. In 1615, a second edition was published. § The Dutch historian and poet Willem Bilderdijk, 1756-1831, published in 1828 a new version, or rather adaptation, of the 'Hartspiegel'. In the preface he informs the reader that he left out almost a quarter of the verses, omitting Spieghel's repetitions, his words of praise of heathen philosophers, and the passages he deemed vulgar. He boasts finally that nothing essential was lost in his version. (Voorrede, p./ 7/8)) (Collation: pi6, A-G8, H6 (leaf H6 blank)) (Photographs on request) 500 gr.

8vo. (LXVIII),564 p. Frontispiece, 1 portrait, 2 folding plates, 8 full page engravings, 2 folding tables and 4 poems embedded in full page engravings. Calf. 19.5 cm (Ref: STCN ppn 17136984X; OiN p. 138; Geerebaert XXIV,7) (Details: Back and boards gilt with floral motives. Frontispiece by J. Goeree, C. van Haarlem, A van Buysen, it depicts Arion on the back of a huge dolphin, playing his lyre, while the storm rages. Title printed in red and black. Engraved printer's device designed and engraved by J. Goeree on the title, depicting 3 bucolic musicians, motto: 'Altro diletto ch' imparar non provo', 'I feel no greater delight than to learn'. After the preface follows a biography of Spieghel, 'testimonia' concerning him, and a bibliography. The biography is preceded by a portrait beautifully engraved by P. van Gunst. In the third book of the Hertspieghel, which deals with the famous allegoric 'Cave of Plato', a folding plate has been inserted depicting the Cave where most people live in darkness and where a small number of philosophers percieves the true form of reality. This fine engraving is made after the wellknown engraving of the cave of Plato by Jan Pietersz Saenredam, 1604. Each of the seven books of the Hertspieghel is preceded by an engraved headpiece. After the Hertspieghel a short section 'Hieroglifica' offers 8 moralistic poems of 8 lines with an opposing full page emblematic engraving. Then follow four 4 line poems embedded in an engraving of J. Goeree. They offer and illustrate eternal truths, like 'Wel leven menschen wys in hutten,/ Als Timmerkoorts den zotten plaegt,/ 't Onnut gebouw dat kou zou schutten,/ Praelbouwers vaek in armoê jaegt.' After a long section with occasional and moralistic poems and letters, the book ends with a Dutch translation of the dialogue 'Cebetis Tabula', the table of Cebes, made by Pieter Vlaming. This dialogue dates from the first century A.D., it was attributed to the philosopher Cebes, a student of the Athenian Socrates. In it an ancient temple painting, which caught the attention of two visitors, is explained by an old man. It is an allegorical picture on which the dangers and temptations of human life are symbolically represented. It shows that happiness can only be reached by proper education and a virtuous life. This once popular ethical work is now almost forgotten. But in the 16th, 17th and 18th century it was widely read, especially by clerics and schoolboys. The accompanying folding plate, 25x14.5 cm, is an artist's impression of the 'Tabula Cebetis'. It shows the many ways leading to vice, and the only straight and narrow path to virtue: we see a garden with 2 concentric walls filled with a host of allegorical figures. At the Entrance (to life) sits 'Seductio' (Temptation), offering a youth a drink from a goblet. In the foreground also the philosopher Cebes explaining to a bunch of young children the dangers and temptations which lie ahead. Most people within the first wall, among them kings and bishops, are busy gambling, fighting, drinking. Within the second wall we see philosophers and scholars. In the background is a high hill with a temple on top, a destination which is reached by only a few. This engraving is a minimized version of Goltzius' engraving of the 'Tabula' of Cebes of 1592) (Condition: Back severely damaged, partly gone, and loose along the front joint. Boards worn, some small damages to the edges of the boards) (Note: Hendrik Laurenszoon Spieghel, or Spiegel, 1549-1612, is one of the most important writers and thinkers in the Dutch Republic during the turn of the 16th and 17th century.

The third, printed by Hendrik Wetstein in 1694, is enlarged with other writings and poems by Spieghel.
