Description from the seller
Full title: "Emblems, Divine and Moral: together with Hieroglyphics of the Life of Man [bound with] The School of the Heart, or The Heart."
Two works bound as one. Simple half blue leather with dark cloth boards and gilt titles to the spine. The binding is neat, and clean with a couple of marks only. Owner's name and date to the end paper of each title.
Emblems moral and divine has a frontis portrait of Quarles, an engraved title, and 79 engraved emblems. Following this (and still part of the the first book) the Hieroglyphics contains 14 plates.
Book two - The School of the Heart, has a frontis (the same portrait) engraved title, and 48 plates.
Both books are complete. A total of 143 engraved plates plus 2 engraved titles.
The binding is slightly weak in parts (holding well, but with slight cracking). The first frontis is slightly separating, and the front end paper has been supported with archival tape. A few light marks to pages, and general darkening of the pages, but overall a very attractive example. To the last few pages there are some light water marks.
Pagination: [x], 278., [iv], 154, [viii]. pp.
The the end are the translations of the Latin mottos from the School of the Heart.
15.5 x 10.5 cm
Francis Quarles (1592-1644) was an English poet.
