Discusses the origin of symbols, emblems and currencies, as well as praise from Mignaut and his work, Greek and Latin verses, signed by Nic. Gulonic, Regius Professor of Greek, P. Pineau de Vendome; East. Pasquier; Germain Audebert, Orleans, and Nic. Quatresols. The emblems are discussed followed by all Greek passages that are in Alciat, literally translated by Nic. Gulonic; a table methodically emblems, a homage to the work of Alciat delivered by Mignaut Royal College of Burgundy in Paris in 1576 and finally a table of things and words contained in these comments. Bookstore is the trademark on the title, and that of the printer on the last page. " (from the Bulletin du Bibliophile, No. 529 - October 1856 - ex. Connected 30 en tan calf side. Techener the bookstore).
"This edition, one of the most complete, is enriched with figures engraved on wood for each emblem, very thin and very pretty." (Techener, Bibliographic Description of selected books of all kinds, vol. 1, No. 12688).

The woods are not worn. They remained anonymous but very well drawn (note that 3 of them wear as a mark of Double Cross of Lorraine - the double cross of Lorraine is the kind of engraver Pierre Lorraine Woeriot). Found at the end of the emblems of trees.
