Janos Zsamboki (1531-1584), Hungarian physician and scholar, and author of an important early emblem book Emblemata cum aliquot nummis antiqui operis (1564), was employed as court phyisican by Emperor Maximilian II, and lived for most of his life in Vienna. His extensive library and collections of maps, coins and works of art later formed a significant part of the Austrian National Library. The remarkable engraved portraits by Pierre van der Borcht (1545-1608), according to the Wellcome Collection, 'may be regarded as authentic'. In the preface by Max Rooses to the facsimile edition of this work published in the series Maatschappij der Antwerpsche Bibliophilen in 1901, van der Borcht is credited not only with the engraving of the plates, but with the original drawings too: "La manie?re des gravures indique a? toute e?vidence que Pierre van de Borcht les exe?cuta a? l'eau-forte ... Tout permet d'affirmer que van der Borcht ne grava pas seulement, mais dessina e?galement les planches."

Mortimer, Harvard French Books, 502; Cartier, De Tournes 260; Dekesel S70. First edition, first issue of this elegantly illustrated work by Jacopo Strada (1507-1588), Mantuan Nnumismatist, dealer and advisor in antiquities, architect and librarian, whose portrait by Titian of 1567-68 (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) is regarded as one of the artist's greatest late masterpieces. According to Mortimer, Strada's 'Epitome' originated in his own collection of coins and medals. It was printed as part of a projected work on the subject which was to have been the culmination of his extensive research in other European collections as well as his own. Strada particularly notes in his preface to his Epitome 'the assistance received from Guillaume Du Choul and Jean Grolier, adding praise of Grolier's magnificent library'. The illustrations are derived from Strada's own drawings of medallion portraits based on antique coins and medals of emperors from Julius Caesar to Emperor Charles V, which were commissioned by Hans Jakob Fugger, for whom Strada also acted as agent in the acquisition of works of art and antiquities.
