References: Adams J-213; Landwehr, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese emblem books 415. A first-wave example of baroque book illustration, and a stylistic breakthrough for the illustrator (and printer) Girolamo Porro, this strange book occupies an undefined space between emblem book and prophecy, between folklore and political propaganda. Although the text is attributed to Joachim of Fiore, a 12th-century cleric, there is no connection, and the life of Joachim by the Neapolitan humanist Gabriele Barrio is equally fanciful. The text relies rather on a manuscript tradition of "prophecies" that always postdated the events they predict (but were attributed to an earlier speaker, such as Joachim, to make them seem premonitory), apocalyptic warnings, and moral advice couched in oracular statements by the popes of the Church. The allegorical emblems by Girolamo Porro are truly imaginative and mystifying. The series of illustrated "prophecies" also includes an "Oraculum Turcicum," predicting the fall of the Turkish empire, engraved with a caption in Turkish characters, transliterated into the Roman alphabet in the lower part of the plate, and translated on the facing page. Commentary on each prophecy is provided by Pasqualino Regiselmo, who also wrote the dedicatory letter (in Latin and Italian).
