S.l. (Antwerp ?), no publisher (Plantin-Moretus Press ?) , 1609 (for the first two parts), 1601 (for the third part). Format in-4°, (22,5 x 17 cm), Engraved title page (triple title within pictorial renaissance style border) +(18)nn pp + 174 pp (Gaurico text) + (2)nn pp (blank) + (24) nn pp + 16 pp + engraved title page + engraved portrait + 98 full page engraved plates each with 2 ills. + 49 plates eeach with 4 ills. Bound in contemporary full vellum, gilt decorated spine with a trace of the missing title label. Vellum a bit soiled but still a fine copy with a nearly stainless interior., This is the second edition of Goorle's book on his collection of antique Roman cameo rings; enlarged with a text by Gaurico and one by Demontosius. Similarly to the first edition also published without a place of imprint nor a printer's name. The title page of this edition is a reworked plate of the first edition; the year 1609 and titles of the 2 added works were included in the title text. We compared this so-called second edition with the first edition (presumably printed in 1601) and can confirm that for this second ''imprint'' the left-over sheets of the first imprint were used, with the addition of 12 plates at the end (ills.numbered 149 - 196). All the dedications and privileges of the first edition are included. Apart from the two added text (Gurico & Demontosius) the only new element is a laudatory text by Matthias Martini, written in Antwerp and dated April 1607.This addition made to the second edition makes it very likely that both editions were printed in Antwerp. A study of the nice initials (36 x 36 mm) will allmost certainly revail the Antwerp printer (Moretus ?). The reason for the concealment of the printer's name may be found in the bitter religeous struggle which was raging in the Netherlands. Goorle, of Antwerp descent was in the service of the stadthouder Adolf van Nieuwenaar in Utrecht but also befriended with Ernest of Bavaria, Prince-elector archbishop of Cologne, bischop of Liège, an ardent supporter of the Counter-reformation.…

S.d. (Antwerpen), s.d. (after 1600,) in-4°, 195 x 153 mm, engraved title page +16 pp + 137 full page engravings (98 leaves with each two numbered and illustrated rings with seals - nr. 1 -196).; 37 leaves each with 4 seals (numbered 1-148). (total of 137 plates). Bound in 19th c.half leather, with marbled end papers. Weak joint, (upper joint broken). Title page with a horizontal tear repaired ( no loss of paper). Some pages with the usual stains.All copies are rare of this early publication on a humanistic collection of classical Roman rings. As far a we know the publisher has not been identified but the book was printed in Antwerp. Our copy lacks, in comparison with another copy we handled: the portrait, the dedication to Ernest of Bavaria, all the laudatory (from personalities of the Northern Netherlands) poems and privileges. The book was dedicated to Ernest of Bavaria, Prince-elector archbishop of Cologne, bischop of Liège, an ardent supporter of the Counter-Reformation. Gorlaeus had fled his native Antwerp as a teenager, most probably for religeous reasons. He lived in Delft where he held important political fuctions e.g. for Adolf van Nieuwenaar, stadtholder. It is conceivable that this copy, which contains the complete text by Goorle on his collection, and all the engraved plates illustrating the rings was purposely bound without the dedication and the privileges . These items would divulge the ambiguous nature of the publication (catholic & protestant). Some customers probably could not take that. From the start this was an equivocal publication, published with no date, nor a place of imprint nor a publisher's name.…

S.d. (Antwerpen), s.d. (after 1600,) in-4°, 222 x 170 mm, engraved title page + engraved author's portrait + (32) nn pp + 16 pp + (4)nn pp (privileges) + 137 full page engravings (98 leaves with each two numbered and illustrated rings with seals - nr. 1 -196). +(2)nn pp (blank) + 37 plates each with 4 seals (numbered 1-148). (complete with a total of 137 plates). Bound in contemporary full vellum with overlapping edges. Later 19th c. leather label on decorated smooth spine.With the printed ex-libris of ''Gaddesden Library'' tipped on to the first paste down. With the manuscript ex-libris of the Danish collector Peder Jonas Charisius elegantly written on the title page: ''Petrus Ionae Charisius Hafniae MSCXXVI''. The book is dedicated to Ernest of Bavaria, Prince-elector archbishop of Cologne, bischop of Liège, an ardent supporter of the Counter-Reformation. Gorlaeus had fled his native Antwerp as a teenager, most probably for religeous reasons. He lived in Delft where he held important political fuctions e.g. for Adolf van Nieuwenaar, stadtholder. It is inconceivable that the book would be published in the Northern Netherlands with a dedication to a staunch catholic. The printing was made after October 1601. [1] The portrait contains the year 1601. [2] The dedication is dated Oct. 1601. [3] The letter of Everhardus Vorstius is dated April 1599. [4] The pivilege of the Holy Roman Empire is dated 5 july 1601. [5] The French privilege is dated 26 june 1598 (or 1602 ?) [6] The Northern Netherlands privilege , issued at the Hague is dated 20 sept. 1600. The book contains no fewer then 6 neo-latin eulogies of the leading Dutch humanists in the Leiden University circle: Everardus Vorstius , Joseph Scaliger, Janus Dousa, Balduin Berlicomus, Aernout van Buchel, Hugo Grotius (and also a caption on the portrait), Daniel Heinsius. The author can be considered as the founder of the dactilyology; a branch of archaeology which studies rings and gems. This is the first major publication, north of the Alps , on this subject . Provenance: Peter Charisius (1608 - 1685) was in diplomatic service at the Copenhagen court. His intrests in art collectiing are known. His father Jonas was also related to the court and served as foreign secretary to the Danish. king Christian IV. Very well preserved copy in a nice contemporary binding of an important early study on ancient (classical) rings and gems; emanating from the florishing humanist circle in the nascent Dutch Republic. Justus Lipsius , once a prominent member of this circle, is absent in the eulogies; a strong proof of his complete rupture with his Leiden past and his keeping away of anything which comes from the North.…
