JUNIUS, Hadrianus.- Emblemata. Eiusdem aenigmatum libellus. Antverpiae, Apud Christophorum Plantinum, 1585. In-16° : 157-2-1 bl.] pp., 62 in texto. Rel. moderne : demi-maroquin rouge à coins, dos lisse, titre doré (coins émoussés).
Suite de 62 sujets (!) emblématiques représentés en autant de jolies vignettes d'inspiration italienne gravées sur bois par G. van Kampen et A. Nicolai d'après G. Ballain et P. Huys (56 x 56 mm). Notre édition, ayant fait l'objet d'une co-publication avec l'Officine plantinienne de Leiden, est la troisième de petit format. Elle renferme 4 nouveaux sujets dont un daté 1579, les éditions antérieures et même certains exemplaires datés de 1585 ne comptant que 58 bois. Rarissime !
Au-dessus de chaque gravure, certaines d'un tirage moins fort, figure une sentence, quelquefois accompagnée d'une dédicace à l'un ou l'autre personnage de la politique ou des lettres de l'époque. Sous chaque vignette, tirées des mêmes bois que dans l'édition originale (1565), quatre vers latins. Suivent les explications de chaque sujet représenté, la liste des écrivains anciens qui ont servi à l'auteur et un appendice comportant 45 énigmes.
L'auteur Adriaan de Jonghe (Horn, 1511-1575, Middelburg) fait ses études à l'université de Bologne et passe quelques années à la cour Dannoise en tant que professeur du futur Christian IV, avant d'être nommé médecin attitré de la ville de Haarlem, puis de Middelburg. Ce savant humaniste est également l'auteur de plusieurs ouvrages dans des domaines aussi variés que la médecine, l'histoire naturelle, la philologie classique et moderne, l'histoire etc.
