Later Arnheim edition of Jacobus Typotiuss influential collection of emblems detailing parts of sacred ritual in the Latin West church. Typotiuss Symbola Divina et Humana was first published in Prague in three volumes from 1601 to 1603. An extant manuscript of the Symbola Divina et Humana dates to about 1590 and it is known that several copies were made and circulated through the court of Prague. Typotius a Flemish humanist scholar was court historian to Emperor Rudolf II. While his name takes precedence on the title page Typotius was possibly just one of four men responsible for this work. The designs were compiled by Ottavio Strada antiquarian to Emperor Rudolf III and were reproduced by the engraver Aegidius Sadeler. Typotius wrote the Latin commentaries on the impresa except in the fourth book which was the work of Anselm Boethius de Boodt physician to the same emperor. The imprese in Typotiuss work covers a vast array of subjects including the Santa Eucharista Holy Eucharist the Santa Crucis Holy Cross popes kings emperors and rulers of various nations princes clergy and cardinals. Some notable figures represented in imprese include French kings Philip I and Louis VII Henry VIII of England and his queens Anne Boleyn and Anne of Cleves James VI of Scotland Philip II of Spain and unsurprisingly Rudolf II of Bohemia. The work was highly popular in its time and was frequently reprinted in both Germany and in the Netherlands. Praz p. 518; Landwehr 799; Cicognara 1964. Johann Fridericus Hagius hardcover books
