"Rollenhagii nucleus Emblematum." The cuts by Crispin de Passe. In Herman Krul's "Eerlyche tytkorting, &c." a Dutch book of emblems, 4to. n. d. there are some subjects in which Death is allegorically introduced, and sometimes in a very ludicrous manner. Death enters the study of a seated philosopher, from whose mouth and breast proceed rays of light, and presents him with an hour-glass. Below a grave, over which hangs one foot of the philosopher. A. Venne invent. Obl. 5-1/2 by 4-1/2. "Catz's Emblems," in a variety of forms and editions, containing several prints relating to the subject. "Oth. Vænii Emblemata Horatiana." Several editions, with the same prints. "Le Centre de l'Amour decouvert soubs divers emblesmes galans et facetieux. A Paris chez Cupidon." Obl. 4to. without date. One print only of a man sitting in a chair seized by Death, whilst admiring a female, who, not liking the intrusion, is making her escape. The book contains several very singular subjects, accompanied by Latin and German subjects. It occurs also under the title of "Euterpæ soboles hoc est emblemata varia eleganti jocorum mistura, &c." "Fables nouvelles par M. de la Motte." 4to. edition. Amsterd. 1727, 12mo. "Apophthegmata Symbolica, &c." per A. C. Redelium Belgam. Augspurg, 1700. Oblong 4to. Death and the soldier; Death interrupting a feast; Death and the miser; Death and the old man; Death drawing the curtain of life, &c. &c. "Choice emblems, divine and moral." 1732. 12mo. FRONTISPIECES AND TITLE PAGES TO BOOKS. "Arent Bosman." This is the title to an old Dutch legend of a man who had a vision of hell, which is related much in the manner of those of Tundale and others. It was printed at Antwerp in 1504, 4to. The frontispiece has a figure of Death in pursuit of a terrified young man, and may probably belong to some other work. On a portion of the finely engraved wood frontispiece to "Joh. de Bromyard Summa predicantium." Nuremberg, 1518, folio. Death with scythe and hour-glass stands on an urn, supported by four persons, and terrifies several others who are taking flight and stumbling over each other. "Schawspiel Menchliches Lebens." Frankfort, 1596, 4to. Another edition in Latin, intitled, "Theatrum vitæ humanæ," by J. Boissard, the engravings by De Bry. At the top of the elegant title or frontispiece to this work is an oblong oval of a marriage, interrupted by Death, who seizes the bridegroom. At bottom a similar oval of Death digging the grave of an old man who is looking into it. On one side of the page, Death striking an infant in its cradle; on the other, a merchant about to ship his goods is intercepted by Death.
