Boissard (1528-1602) had an impressive poetic and emblematic publication record, and was responsible for the text and images for two major emblem books and contributed to many others. In this, the Emblematum liber. Emblemes latins he remarks on tenets of his Calvinist faith, including the Christian life, death, humanist emblems, pragmatism, friendship v. hypocrisy, the ruler, voluptas and ingratitude. Adams makes the copy from the Glasgow University Library much more accessible, noting textual variants, the individual dedicatee, descriptions and transcriptions of inscriptions and emblems, and fairly literal translations of Boissard's quatrain along with high-quality facsimiles. Adams includes notes on the accompanying sonnet by Joly and comparative notes on the Greek sententia in Boissard's own hand on the copy maintained by the Royal Library in Brussels.

Boissard's Emblematum liber (1588) is one of the most complex and fascinating we possess: it comprises 42 emblems, each occupying an opening, with a quatrain in Latin by Boissard, a sonnet in French by Pierre Joly, and sophisticated engravings, many of them including more text, much of it in Greek. It is a daunting work but one which amply repays study and attention. Two particularly interesting features are 1) the autograph manuscript at the Bibliotheque de l'Institut in Paris which, as well as giving Boissard's own pictura, almost certainly used by the engraver, contains a prose commentary in French, and 2) the Brussels copy of the 1588 edition, a presentation copy to Louis Malarmey, which has Greek citations of relevance to our understanding of the emblems added, again in Boissard's own hand. I would need to refer to these regularly. The edition includes a critical introduction, situating the work, and a substantial critical apparatus.
