The Orbis Pictus (Classic Reprint) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Excerpt from The Orbis Pictus

In this edition the cuts are unusually clear Copies of the copper-plates of the first edition of 1658, from which we have also taken the Latin text. The text for the English translation is from the English edi tion of r727, in which for the first time the English words were so arranged as to stand Opposite their Latin equivalents.

The cuts have been reproduced with great care by the photographic process. I thought best not to per mit them to be retouched, preferring occasional in distinctness to modern tampering with the originals that would make them less authentic.
