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." The title to the present copy does not have the architectural outer border sometimes present, but does have the portrait of Becanus (no. 52) which is left blank in other copies of this edition.
