- Fine copy.
= Praz p.366; Landwehr 296; De Vries, Emblemata 32. Contains, apart from the Lof-Sanck and the Nederduytsche Poemata, the following divisional titles: Het ambacht van Cupido; Emblemata amatoria; Spiegel vande Doorluchtige, eerlicke, cloucke, deuchtsame ende verstandige Vrouwen (...) and Hymnus van Bacchus, Waer in 't gebruyck ende misbruyck vande Wijn beschreven wort. Contains a fine portrait of an inebriated Bacchus. On the first edition of this hymn to Bacchus (publ. Leyden, 1615), see Oberlé, Fastes 1032: "(...) Heinsius semble avoir eu une tendresse particulière pour le dieu du vin car, déjà en 1610, il donnait une dissertation sur les Dionysiaques du grand poète grec de la décadence, Nonnos. Il est d'ailleurs probable qu'il ait tiré son hymne de Bacchus de cette collosale épopée." SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXIX.
