[Emblemata] Desiderius Peregrinus, of Begeerders pelgrimaedje

naer 't huis der liefde. Te voren in 't Spaens [by Michel Comalada, 16th century] en Latijn beschreven; nu nieuwelijks in rijm vertaelt, en met kopere plaeten verzien. Rotterdam, François van Hoogstraeten, 1679, (4),273,(3) p., with 41 engraved illustrations after 3 engravings and 38 drawings by Jan Luyken (several monogrammed "W") (half page), contemporary vellum, 12mo.

Lacks frontispiece by Romeyn de Hooghe, endpapers loose from boards and a few minimal other defects. See Van Eeghen/ Van der Kellen, het werk van Jan en Caspar Luyken, deel I, number 5 and 6. Very rare variant of De Schat der Zielen (1678) entirely in rhyme, with the same illustrations but copied. Account of a long voyage through many countries, undertaken by the pious former hermit Begeerder as a means to educate the reader in various virtues and the love of God.
