Cornelius CURTIUS. Virorum illustrium ex ordine eremitarum D. Augustini elogia cum singulorum expressis ad vivum iconibus. Antwerp, Joannem Cnobbarum, 1636. In-4, overlapping vellum, title on spine, blue edges (contemporary binding).
Funck, 299 /// (8f.)-288
First and only edition of this work tracing the lives of members of the Order of Saint Augustine.
A title and 30 portraits engraved by C. Galle after drawings by Francquart. The title is set in a large architectural decor, and the portraits are all in scrolled medallions, sometimes enhanced with flowers, putti and symbols.
A fine copy, despite a repair to one leaf that does not affect the engraving.
