APPENDIX I
A List of Source Emblem-Books Used
Alciati, Andrea. Omnia Andreae Alciati V. C. Emblemata: Cum commentariis, quibus Emblematum omnium aperta origine, mens auctoris explicatur, & obscura omnia dubiaque illustrantur: Per Claudium Minoem Diuionensem. Antverpiae, Ex officina Christophori Plantini, M.D. LXXVII. Although Green owned a copy of the 1577 Plantin edition—see his Andrea Alciati and His Books of Emblem: A Biographical and Bibliographical Study (1872), No. 93 in the "Bibliographical Catalogue" — the list of Whitney's emblems that are borrowed from those of Alciati is oddly based on the 1581 Plantin edition, (Green, No. 99). Hereinafter reference to this catalogue will be simply Green, followed by the number. In addition, I have consulted no fewer than fourteen principal editions of Alciati in the Henry E. Huntington Library, most of which belonged at one time to the great bibliophile Robert Hoe, from the earliest 1531 Steyner to the latest 1676 Plantin editions. Also available to me are two other editions. One is the undated copy of Alciati's Emblemata in the Archive Library of Washington State University. Based on the wordings of its title-page and the specific page on which Mignault's May 1576 laudation of Alciati begins, this edition appears to fit the description of the 1601 Paris edition (Green, No. 128). The other is the 1973 Scolar Press reprint of the second edition of Diego López's Declaración magistral sobre las emblemas de Andrés Alciato, Valencia 1655 (Green, No. 164).
Aneau, Barthélemy (or Anulus). Picta Poesis. Ut pictura poesis erit. Lugduni, Apud Mathiam Bonhomme. 1552.
Faernus, Gabriel. Fabulae Centum ex antiquis auctoribus delectae et a Gabriele Faerno Cremonensi carminibus explicatae. Antverpiae: Ex
Junius, Hadrianus. Hadriani Iunii Medici Emblemata. Eiusdem Aenigmatum libellus. Lugduni Batavorum, Ex officina Christophori Plantini. M.D.LXXXV. 62 wdcts; 58 in Emblemata, 4 in Aenigmatum. First edition, 1565, with 57 wdcts; 1566 edition with 58 wdcts; the 1567 edition in French with 56 wdcts. Also available to me is the 1972 Scolar Press reprint of the first edition.
La Perrière, Guillaume de. Le Théâtre des bons engins, auquel sont contenuz cent Emblèmes moraulx. . . . [Paris] De l'Imprimerie de Denys Ianot . . . [1539]. I have used the facsimile reprint of the 1539 edition ed. by Greta Dexter (1964), the 1973 Scolar Press reprint of the same, and the photocopy of the extremely rare English translation by Thomas Combe (London, Printed by Richard Field, 1614). The original is at the Huntington. Rather than from the 1539 French edition, Whitney copied his MS drawings and Choice woodcuts from either the 1545 or the 1583 Lyons editions by Jean de Tournes, which in turn may have served as copy text for Combe. For a detailed discussion on this discovery, see Section 3.
Montenay, Georgette de. Emblèmes, ou Devises Chrestiennes, Composees par Damoiselle Georgette de Montenay. A Lyon, Par Jean Marcorelle. M.D.LXXI. (rpt. Scolar Press, 1973). I have also used the Latin edition: Georgiae Montaneae Nobilis Gallae Emblematum Christianorum Centuria, Cum eorundem Latina interpretatione . . . Tiguri, Apud Christophorum Froschouerum, 1584. Missing from the cuts of this edition is the Cross of Lorraine which is the mark of the artist, Pierre Woeiriot, even though here and there traces of its being removed can be detected when compared with the 1571 plates.
Paradin, Claude. Symbola Heroica M. Claudii Paradini, Belliiocensis Canonici, et D. Gabrielis Symeonis, Symbola: iam recèns ex idiomate Gallico in Lat . . . à Iohan. Gubernatore, patria Gediniense, conversa. Antverpiae, Ex officina Christophori Plantini, 1567. The pagination, 7-258, is identical to that of the second French edition printed in Lyons by Ian de Tournes and Guillaume Gazeau in 1557; the part containing the 36 emblems designed by Symeoni begins on p. 271 and ends on p. 316. I have a reprint of this 1557 French edition by the Scolar Press, 1971. The woodcuts of this Latin edition appear to be close copies of those of the French edition.
Sambucus, Joannes. Emblemata, cum aliquot nummis antiqui operis, Ioannis Sambuci . . . Antverpiae, ex officina Christophori Plantini, M.D.LXIV. 166 wdcts and 8 pages of medals. Also used is the fourth Latin edition of 1576, which contains 222 emblems and 45 cuts of medals.
For catalogues of emblem-books I relied mainly on Praz's comprehensive bibliography, pp. 241-576, and Robert Hoe's Catalogue of Books of Emblems in the Library of Robert Hoe (1908).
