Edition information
IllustrationsThe same as in the 1566-edition, with minor changes. Owing to the smaller size (from in 8⁰ to in 16mo) the woodcut-compartment on the title-page has been deleted and the large portrait of the author replaced by the smaller one as already used in the 1564-edition; the emblems are reproduced as such, and not printed within woodcut-borders or typographical fleurons; one emblem with the corresponding illustration had been omitted (cf. Notes) Digitisation of the woodblocks

Note 1As stated on the title-page: the third Latin edition.
Note 2A reprint of the 1566-edition, with only smaller changes: one emblem of the 1564- and 1566-editions, too much related to actuality (in the 1566-edition on page 105: In sponsalia Ioannis Ambii Angli, et Albȩ Rolleae D. Arnoldi medici Gandavensis filiae), has been deleted; the sequence of the emblems has on places been altered. The statement on the title-page 'Cum emendatione et auctario copioso ipsius auctoris' is, to say the least, an exaggeration - but has in fact been copied from the title-page of the 1566-edition.
Note 3Of the edition 1,525 copies were printed, as stated in a note in Arch. 31, folio 160v: 'Emblemata Sambuci. Le 27 febvrier [1569] Nicolas Calaber et Pierre Vincy [= two compositors] à 8 stuivers la forme, imprimé à 1525 in 16⁰ par Georges Vrient et Peeter'.
Note 4Listed in M 296, folio 5v ([Emblemata Sambuci] Idem in 16⁰, a⁰ -, f[euilles] 14½, [price:] stuivers 3½), and M 164, folio 10v (Idem in 16⁰, 3a editio, f[euilles] 14½, [price:] stuivers 3½).
