Coloniae Agrippinae: apud Ioannem Busaeum Bibliopolam, 1657

Folio. Dos partes en un volumen. Parte 1: [4 hh.], 212 pp., [24] p. ; Parte 2: [2hh.], 278 pp., [14 hh.] Encuadernación de época en pergamino sobre cartón rígido, título manuscrito en lomo aún visible; las pastas y lomo presentan manchas. Marca tipográfica del impresor en página de título de ambas partes y en colofón. Escudo de Andreas Cruesen, arzobispo de Malinas (Bélgica) y dedicatoria de la obra, en parte 1. Texto a dos columnas con capitulares artísticas; apostillas marginales; múltiples ornamentos; bellos grabados al inicio de cada sección; capitulares y viñetas ornamentales. Primera y última hojas [blancas] con roturas. Primer grabado (h2) de página completa con algo de faltante en margen derecho. Etiqueta de tienda Benziger Bros y de antiguo propietario Joseph W. Berg , ambas en primera guarda interior.

El "Lux Evangelicae" -traducido al español, "Luz del evangelio"- , es la obra más conocida de Engelgrave: presenta temas para sermones, fiestas religiosas y santoral, resumidos en emblemas con lemas a menudo tomados de los poetas clásicos (Ovidio, Virgilio, Horacio...), cuyo significado religioso se hace explícito por las citas bíblicas. La obra consta de 54 sermones, ilustrados con emblemas grabados que transforman los pasajes evangélicos glosados. Están destinados a los domingos del año, a cada predicación dominical le corresponde un emblema. Cada emblema consta de un pasaje bíblico, que es el objeto de la glosa, la pictura enmarcada en una cartela barroca, la inscriptio o mote latino (que a veces es una cita de un autor clásico, pero no siempre), la indicación del domingo al que corresponde, según el calendario litúrgico, y la explanatio en prosa, que es el sermón propiamente dicho (no hay epigrama), el cual desarrolla la lección moral representada enigmáticamente por el emblema. Los sermones van acompañados de gran cantidad de citas de autores clásicos, profanos y cristianos, de diferentes épocas, que ponen de manifiesto los profundos conocimientos de Engelgrave y la variedad de fuentes utilizadas. Su finalidad era alumbrar sobre los evangelios, evitar las falsas interpretaciones y realizar las correcciones a los errores heréticos que se fomentaban en los territorios del Norte de Europa.

La primera edición fue publicada en Amberes en 1648, con grabados atribuidos a Jan van Meurs. Los emblemas de Engelgrave se inspiran formalmente en L'imago primi saeculi, libro de emblemas que se editó en 1640 en Amberes para conmemorar el primer Centenario de la fundación de la Compañía de Jesús. El autor lleva así a buen término el propósito que anuncia en su preámbulo, cuando precisa que la elocuencia sagrada no es un mero pasatiempo sino que debe instruir y ser útil. Engelgrave completará este proceso en 1657 (presente edición), con la publicación de un nuevo volumen de la Lux Evangelica dedicado a las fiestas de los santos.

Description:
12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.

Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."

This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.
