Ascribed by Lipperheide to Jacob van der Heyden. Lipperheide describes a copy comprising 27 prints and a title leaf.

Comprises an engraved title page and 39 engraved emblems numbered 1 to 39 with Latin and German mottos at foot, and two unnumbered emblems signed "Albrecht Schmidt ex." with only the German mottos. Two of the plates are signed with van der Heyden's monogram. Bound in at end are 100 blank leaves suggesting that the book might have been intended as an album amicorum. Some of the plates may have been reused by van der Heyden from Crispijn de Passe's Academia (cf. Veldman).

At least some of the engravings are based Albrecht Wichgreve's Cornelius relegatus, a comedy about student life first published in 1600. Van der Heyden first published Pugillus facetiarum in 1608 comprising 16 prints (cf. Veldman). In 1618 he combined the plates from the 1608 edition with other prints to form the "Speculum Cornelianum."
