  text: First Dutch edition, newly and extensively illustrated, of a famous encyclopaedia of iconography, the Iconologia of Cesare Ripa (1560- 1645). It describes about 650 symbolic human or semi-human figures, illustrates nearly 200, and was intended as a guide for all kinds of artists, writers, orators and amateurs. In the present 1644 edition the Amsterdam publisher, bookseller and poet Dirck Pietersz. Pers (1581–1659) translated and edited Ripa’s text and Castellini’s additions and made further additions of his own. He also included 196 woodcut illustrations cut for this edition based on a selection of those in the 1630 edition. It was in this form that Ripa’s work was best known to artists in the Dutch golden age and it remained in use by painters and designers for the decorative arts far into the 18th century. An important source of knowledge and inspiration for artists of the Dutch golden age.
