EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ornate title page of "Polyanthea" by Dominicus Nannus Mirabellius, published in Lyon in 1600. The French School from the 17th century beautifully captured this historical piece of literature, which is now under the kind permission of the Earl of Leicester and the Trustees of the Holkham Estate. The title page features a mesmerizing combination of elements, including a snake coiled around an anchor, symbolizing knowledge and stability. This anthology serves as an encyclopaedia filled with literary treasures spanning 851 pages written in Latin. Notable authors Bartholomaeus Anantius and Franciscus Tortius contributed to this remarkable volume. Interestingly, Sir Edward Coke acquired this precious book as a gift from Cambridge University. His inscription can be found within its pages along with his unfinished index on the rear flysheet. The image captures not only the grandeur of this historic work but also highlights its association with one of England's most prominent legal minds. Bridgeman Images has impeccably preserved this snapshot that immerses viewers into a world where literature intertwines with artistry. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded that books hold immense power to transport us through time and connect us to generations past who cherished knowledge just as much as we do today.
