Emblems appear on rectos, c1-D4, and incorporate Latin mottoes on ornamental scrolls. Beneath them are four lines of explanatory Latin verse summarizing the eight lines of French verse that appear on facing versos.

Emblems engraved by Pierre Woeiriot. His mark (cross of Lorraine) has been removed from the plates, in some cases imperfectly, but his monogram remains on the first. Port. of the author appears on b4r, dated in the plate 1567. It is unsigned, but stylistically consonant with the emblems.

Signatures: a-z⁴, A-F⁴.

Burke Library copy: From the library of Edward Blundell, with his inscriptions.
