(1564-1651). The title is signed “Abraham Blomaert Inuen. I.C. fecit” (not in Hollstein as such –
only a later printing by his son Cornelis Bloemaert (1603-1684), who later in his life was active at
Rome!). On the title engraving a Latin poem in 3 distichs signed “H. de Roÿ”. Each plate with a
single Latin distich (unsigned).
