Note
A religious A.B.-book, with accompanying emblematic engravings. De Backer and Sommervogel III, 192, no.11 (this edition); cf. Landwehr 254 (804 pages); Jantz 864; Praz, p.320 (1629 ed.). An attractively illustrated edition of this curious and scarce work on depravity in language, arranged in alphabetical order. Each aspect of corrupted speech (e.g. blasphemy, calumny, chatter, drunken speech, lying and swearing) is illustrated by one emblem in its place in this alphabetical catalogue of misuse.
