= Landwehr 111 and Landwehr 135; STCN Cats 173, 146 and 209; Mus. Catsianum 30, 56, 77 and 97. "1618 is het verschijningsjaar van Cats' eerste letterkundige voortbrengselen. Zijn eersteling, Silenus Alcibiadis, is een emblematabundel, - en wat voor één! Adriaan van de Venne ontwierp de afbeeldingen en de levendigheid, beeldingskracht en frisheid daarvan is in de hele zeventiende eeuw niet meer geëvenaard. Het werk bestond in de eerste uitgave uit drie delen, waarin Cats dezelfde reeks van 51 platen door middel van andere teksten achtereenvolgens op de liefde, het maatschappelijk leven en de godsdienst toepaste. Hans van der Hellen, de Middelburgse uitgever, verzorgde twee edities, die op een speciale manier aan elkaar gerelateerd zijn. De eerste [1618] is heel luxe; daarin worden in de delen twee en drie de gravures opnieuw afgedrukt. De tweede [as in our copy] is iets eenvoudiger: in het tweede en derde deel zijn de platen vervangen door extra Latijnse en Nederlandse citaten van allerlei auteurs, zonder overigens aan de rest van het zetsel iets te wijzigen."

= Lust 14 (ed. Paris, 1770) and 12 (ed. 1735); cf. Cordier I, p.45f; Walravens, China Illustrata 26. "Encyclopaedic survey of China, compiled from unpublished and printed works of 17 Jesuits. The maps (by d'Anville), were based on Jesuit surveys." (Lust, note to the first edition, Paris, 1735). "Der Hauptzweck dieser Kompilation war sicherlich, die von den Jesuiten erworbene Chinakenntnis breiteren Teilen der europäischen Bevölkerung zugänglich zu machen, mit dem speziellen Ziel allerdings, die Augen der Franzosen auf die Leistungen und Aufgaben der französischen Chinamission zu richten und entsprechende Unterstützung anzuregen. Dies geschah zu einem Zeitpunkt, als der Ritenstreit drohte, das idealisierte Chinabild der Missionare zu verdunkeln und Zweifel an Sinn und Methode des Missionswerkes zu wecken."

Allein die 150 Abbildungen und Karten, die das Buch zieren und die nach Zeichnungen des Autors aufgeführt wurden, haben beachtlichen Wert. Bis weit in das 18.Jahrhundert hinein wurden sie immer wieder nachgedruckt und nachgeschnitten und prägten weitgehend das Chinabild der Zeit". The double-p. plates mainly depicting panoramic city views. "Was aber seinem Buch den höchsten Wert verleiht ist die Fülle prachtvollster Kupfertafeln von Städten, Landschaften, Volkstypen" (Henze III, p.612). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXV.
