With 2 plates, 64 large illustrations and 4 nice larger endpieces. - From the introduction: "La livraison du mois ("La Revue mensuelle 'La Croix'") est consacrée aux saints, glorifiés par le même supplice que le Sauveur. Nous reproduisons un monument d'iconographie chrétienne du XVIIe siècle. (Pedro de Bivero. Sacrorum sanctuarium crucis et patientiae.). Ce livre représente les saints crucifiés jusqu'en 1634, avec un sermon latin pour chacun d'eux. Ces sermons n'ont point de valeur pour la lecture aujourd'hui; mais les gravures restent précieuses, et nous nous sommes contenté de les accompagner d'une notice historique. Nous y ajoutons notre vie du bhx Perboyre, le martyr contemporain, un frontispice et une curieuse image du Crucifié à la fin". 350g.…

First and only edition of a beautifully illustrated Roman Catholic emblem book, written by the Spanish Jesuit Pierre de Bivero, Latinized Biverus (1572-1656). The book is divided into three parts, closing with an appendix. The first part is devoted to the emblematic representation of the Holy Virgin, with 16 engraved emblems, several depicting Mary in a cartouche on the breast of an enormous dove. The second part centres on King David, illustrated with 20 plates, and the third part deals with female saints, including 6 emblematic plates, 5 depicting two saints on each plate and the sixth devoted to Maria. The appendix contains 15 heart-shaped devotional emblems, which had been published before in the devotional work Typus praedestinationis, also printed at Antwerp, in 1630. The emblems were designed and engraved by some of the best Antwerp artists. Adriaan Collaert (ca. 1560-1618), a fine Antwerp engraver, was married to the daughter of Philip Galle, whose pupil was Charles de Mallery (ca. 1571-ca. 1631), the engraver of the full-page emblems. Theodoor Galle (1571-1633), who engraved the heart-shaped emblems, was Philip Galle's son and pupil.With the bookplate of Merlin d'Estreux de Beaugrenier on the pastedown.
