It may also be gathered from the “JUDICIUM” that Menestrier had read with care what had been written on Emblems by the following authors:— A.D. 1551. _Gabriel Simeoni_, p. 63. 1557. _Claudius Paradinus_, p. 68. 1562. _Mauritius Sevus_, p. 55. 1565. _J. Baptista Pittonius_, p. 70. 1573. _Claudius Minos_, p. 54. 1588. _Bernardinus Percivalle_, p. 64. ” _Principius Fabricius_, p. 76. 1600. _Johannes Pinedi,_ p. 60. 1609. _Jacobus Le Vasseur_, p. 91. 1613. _J. Franciscus de Villava_, p. 55. Excluding the editions before enumerated, the books of emblems which I have noted from various sources as assigned to the authors in the above lists from Menestrier, amount to from _twenty-five_ to _thirty_, with the titles of which there is no occasion to trouble the reader. Returning from this digression, Vincenzo Cartari should next be named in order of time. At Venice, in 1556, appeared his “IMAGINI DEI _Dei degli Antichi_,”—_Images of the Gods of the Ancients_,—4to, of above 500 pages. It contains an account of the Idols, Rites, Ceremonies, and other things appertaining to the old Religions. It was a work often reprinted, and in 1581 translated into French by Antoine du Verdier, the same who, in 1585, gave in folio a Catalogue of all who have written or translated into French up to that time.
