The book features an impressive engraved frontispiece depicting a female allegorical figure of Christianity holding a chalice and shield, surrounded by cherubs and vanquished figures, representing the triumph of Christian doctrine. The illustration is rich with symbolic imagery, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's visual propaganda. The text appears to be in Dutch, as indicated by the title, and the illustration style is characteristic of late 17th-century European engravings.","lastUpdate":"2026-10-02T20:12:09.449Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"$400 - $600","currency":"USD","id":148021,"estimateMin":400},{"startPrice":600,"sold":false,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/helios/cloned-images/148022/008/008.jpg"],"available":true,"description":{"ru":"lyon: without imprint , 1698. half-page woodcut portrait of the author on the title-page. 12mo, [xii] 177pp + epitaph;
